XVI Corps (United Kingdom)
The British XVI Corps was a British infantry corps during World War I. During World War II the identity was recreated for deceptive purposes.
== History ==
British XVI Corps was formed in Salonika in January 1916 under Lieutenant General George Milne.〔 Milne was starved of resources by Sir William Robertson who considered all operations outside the Western Front to be "side shows".〔Heathcote, T.A., p.210〕 The Corps Headquarters were at Kirechkoi to the east of Thessaloniki from January 1916 until the advance to the Struma in September 1916.〔(Ashtead War Memorials ) Leatherhead Local History〕 From May 1916 it was one of two divisions within the British Salonika Army. The campaign developed into a battle for position with trenches and emplacements from which the General Officer Commanding (Lieutenant-General Charles Briggs) undertook limited actions to capture Bulgarian and Turkish positions in a river valley that was infested with mosquitos.〔(Stramash on the Struma 1919 )〕 British operations in the Balkans Campaign were costly: the allies lost over 7,000 troops at the Battle of Doiran in September 1918 alone.〔Wakefield and Moody, p.217〕
