The King's Division is a British Army command, training and administrative apparatus designated for infantry regiments in the North of England. ==History== The King's Division was formed in 1968 with the union of the Lancastrian Brigade, Yorkshire Brigade and North Irish Brigade. The depot was established at Queen Elizabeth II Barracks in Strensall.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Strensall Area Guide )〕 Under the restructuring announced in 2004, the King's Division was reorganized into two large regiments: *The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's Lancashire and Border) *The Yorkshire Regiment (14th/15th, 19th and 33rd/76th Foot) The King's Division therefore now comprises the following infantry battalions:〔Heyman, p. 89〕 *Regular Army Units * *1st & 2nd Battalions, The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's Lancashire and Border) * *1st & 2nd Battalions, The Yorkshire Regiment (14th/15th, 19th and 33rd/76th Foot) *Territorial Army Units * *4th Battalion, The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's Lancashire and Border) * *4th Battalion, The Yorkshire Regiment (14th/15th, 19th and 33rd/76th Foot) In addition, the King's Division also maintains a single regular army band titled the Band of the King's Division.
