  • The 1st Division was an infantry division of the British Army that was formed and disestablished numerous times between 1809 and the present. It was raised by Lieutenant-General Arthur Wellesley for service in the Peninsular War (part of the Coalition Wars of the Napoleonic Wars). It was disestablished in 1814, but re-formed the following year for service in the War of the Seventh Coalition. The formation fought at the Battle of Waterloo. It then marched into France and became part of the Army of Occupation before being disbanded a few years later. It was reformed for service in the Crimean War and the Second Boer War, before a permanent 1st Division was established in the early 20th Century. It then fought in the First, and the Second World Wars. In the post-war years, it was disbanded in 1960 in England. Its title and insignia where then transferred to the 5th Division, based in Germany as part of the British Army of the Rhine and it was then renumbered as the 1st. The division served in Germany throughout the Cold War, being converted into the 1st Armoured Division in 1978. Five years later, the insignia was updated to incorporate elements of the Second World War's 1st Armoured Division. The division then fought in the Gulf War and in the 1990s was redesignated as the 1st (United Kingdom) Division. (en)
