West Indian Brigade
The West Indian Brigade was a British Army unit during the Great War.
In 1915, a second West Indies regiment was formed from Caribbean volunteers who made their way to Britain. Initially, these volunteers were drafted into a variety of units within the British Army, but in 1915 it was decided to group them together into a single regiment, named the British West Indies Regiment.
==Composition==
Initially it was made up of men from:
*British Guiana - A Company
*Trinidad - B Company
*Trinidad and St Vincent - C Company
*Grenada and Barbados - D Company
High wastage led to further drafts from Jamaica, British Honduras and Barbados before the regiment was able to begin training. The regiment totalled twelve battalions, and engaged in a number of roles and theatres. The regiment was finally disbanded in 1921.
