The 16th (Irish) Division was an infantry division of the British Army, raised for service during World War I. The division was a voluntary 'Service' formation of Lord Kitchener's New Armies, created in Ireland from the 'National Volunteers', initially in September 1914, after the outbreak of the Great War. In December 1915, the division moved to France, joining the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), under the command of Irish Major General William Hickie, and spent the duration of the war in action on the Western Front. Following enormous losses at the Somme, Passchendaele and Ypres, the 16th (Irish) Division required a substantial refit in England between June and August 1918, which involved the introduction of many non-Irish battalions.

  • 16-я (ирландская) пехотная дивизия (англ. 16th (Irish) Division) — тактическое соединение Британской армии периода Первой мировой войны. 16-я дивизия была создана во время Первой мировой войны. Дивизия была добровольческим формированием из числа многих созданных лордом Гербертом Китченером после начала Первой мировой войны, получившим обозначение «Армия Китченера» (Kitchener’s Army), созданным в Ирландии из «национальных добровольцев» (National Volunteers) первоначально в сентябре 1914 года. В декабре 1915 года дивизия перебралась во Францию, присоединившись к Британским экспедиционным силам (БЭС) (British Expeditionary Force (BEF)) под командованием ирландского генерал-майора Уильяма Хики (William Hickie), и провела всю войну в боевых действиях на Западном фронте.
