Order of battle for the Battle of the Somme
(詳細はorder of battle for the Battle of the Somme fought from 1 July to 18 November 1916 as one of the main engagements of the First World War. It was fought between French, British and Dominion forces and the
German Empire in the Somme River valley in northern France.
==British and Dominion forces==
In typical British county regiments, the 1st and 2nd Battalions were regular army, the 3rd was the special reserve battalion which did not normally serve overseas but remained at home as the regimental depot and training unit from which replacements were sent to the regular battalions. The 4th, 5th and 6th Battalions were normally Territorial Force battalions. Territorial battalions raised second line battalions which would be numbered 2/4th, 2/5th and 2/6th, initially from men who did not volunteer for overseas service. The terms of service in the Territorial Force meant that men who had signed up on these could not be forced to serve outside the United Kingdom. The number of battalions depended on the recruitment potential of the area from which the battalions were raised (i.e. the Dorsetshire Regiment raised eleven battalions, whilst the London Regiment managed to raise eighty-eight battalions).〔Hart p. 42〕
Regular Army Divisions were numbered 1st to 8th. "New Army" divisions raised by the Kitchener recruitment drive were numbered 9th to 26th. The 27th to 29th Divisions were Regular Army divisions made up from units recalled from Imperial Garrison Duties. The 30th to 41st were again made up from New Army units while the 42nd to 74th were Territorial. The 63rd Division (Royal Naval Division) was made up from Naval Reserves and did not follow this numbering pattern.〔Hart p.43〕
