Western Frontier Force : ウィキペディア英語版 | Western Frontier Force
The Western Frontier Force was raised from British Empire troops during the Senussi Campaign, under the command of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force (EEF). Orders for the formation of the force were issued on 20 November 1915, under Major-General Alexander Wallace, C.B. The force concentrated at Mersa Matruh and began operations against the Senussi in late 1915. ==Organisational history==
In January 1916 during the Band of Oases campaign, a Southern Force was formed under Major-General William Peyton, who replaced Wallace two weeks later and the Southern Force was taken over by Major-General J. Adye. On 31 March, the Southern Force merged with the Western Force which was then divided into a North-West Section and a South-West Section and Adye became Adjutant-General of the EEF. Peyton took command of the WFF but was reappointed while in England. On 11 May, Lieutenant-General Sir Bryan Mahon took over but got sunstroke and was invalided. Major-General A. G. Dallas, in temporary command during Peyton's absence, resumed temporary command until 20 June, when Major-General Sir Charles Macpherson Dobell took up the appointment and the North-West and South-West sections were abolished and a Coastal Section formed. On 4 October, Major-General W. A. Watson took over from Dobell, who was sent to command the Eastern Frontier Force in Sinai. On 5 March 1917, the quiet on the frontier led to the WFF being amalgamated with the Delta Command (Brigadier-General H. G. Casson) with a Coastal and a Southern section.
