  • The Indian 4th Infantry Division also known as the Red Eagle Division , was an infantry division of the British Indian Army. The lineage of the unit is kept alive through a division of the Indian Army. The division was formed in Egypt in 1939 under the command of Major-General (later Lieutenant General Sir) Noel Beresford-Peirse and was the first Indian formation to go overseas during the Second World War. As with all formations in the Indian Army prior to independence, it primarily had British officers and Indians in other ranks. However, it did include Indian officers with ranks as high as Captain or Major. During World War II, it took part in campaigns in East Africa (Eritrea and Sudan), Syria, North Africa and Italy. (en)
  • La 4division d'infanterie indienne (aussi connue sous le nom de Red Eagle Division) est une division d'infanterie de la British Indian Army. La division fut formée en Égypte en 1939 sous le commandement du major-général Noel Beresford-Peirse et est la première unité indienne à être envoyée à l'étranger durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Comme toutes les formations de l'armée indienne avant l'indépendance, ses officiers étaient britanniques tandis que les Indiens étaient sous-officiers et hommes du rang. Cependant, elle comptait quelques officiers indiens (jusqu'aux rangs de capitaine et major). Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, elle prit part aux campagnes d'Afrique de l'Est (Soudan et Érythrée), de Syrie, d'Afrique du Nord et d'Italie. (fr)
