- The British 3rd Infantry Division, known at various times as the Iron Division, 3rd (Iron) Division or as Iron Sides, was originally formed in 1809 by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington for service in the Peninsular War, and was known as the "Fighting 3rd" under Sir Thomas Picton during the Napoleonic Wars. The division is also sometimes referred to as the "Iron Division", a nickname earned during the bitter fighting of 1916, during the First World War. The division's other battle honours include: the Battle of Waterloo, the Crimean War, the Second Boer War, the Battle of France (1940) and D-Day (1944). It was commanded for a time, during the Second World War, by General Bernard Montgomery. The division was to have been part of a proposed Commonwealth Corps, formed for a planned invasion of Japan in 1945-46, but was disbanded when the war was ended by the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. During the Second World War, the insignia became the "pattern of three" — a black triangle trisected by an inverted red triangle.
- Die 3. Britische Infanteriedivision (engl. 3rd Infantry Division) war Teil der vom Unglück verfolgten British Expeditionary Force (BEF), das früh im Zweiten Weltkrieg aus Dünkirchen in der Operation Dynamo evakuiert worden war. Sie war die erste britische Division, die am D-Day am Strandabschnitt Sword landete. Sie war ein Teil der Verstärkung, die die 6. Britische Luftlandedivision nach der Operation Tonga unterstützte. Zu der Zeit, als die Division von dem General Bernard Montgomery kommandiert wurde, war das Abzeichen der Division ein schwarzes Dreieck, welches durch ein auf dem Kopf stehenden roten Dreieck in drei Teile geteilt wurde. Momentan ist diese Division, die aus drei mechanisierten Brigaden - der 1. , 12. und der 19. - besteht, die einzige kontinuierlich kampfbereite Division im Vereinigten Königreich, da die zweite kampfbereite Division der British Army in Deutschland stationiert ist.
