The 38th (Welsh) Division (initially the 43rd Division, later the 38th (Welsh) Infantry Division and then the 38th Infantry (Reserve) Division) of the British Army was active during both the First and Second World Wars. In 1914, the division was raised as the 43rd Division of Herbert Kitchener's New Army, and was originally intended to form part of a 50,000-strong Welsh Army Corps that had been championed by David Lloyd George; the assignment of Welsh recruits to other formations meant that this concept was never realised. The 43rd was renamed the 38th (Welsh) Division on 29 April 1915, and shipped to France later that year.

  • La 38e division d'infanterie (initialement la 43e division, plus tard, la 38e division et ensuite la 38e division d'infanterie de réserve) de l'armée britannique a été actif pendant les Première et Seconde Guerres mondiales. En 1914, la division est créée sous la forme de la 43e division de Herbert Kitchener de la New Army. La division est, à l'origine, destiné à faire partie d'un corps de 50 000 soldats gallois. Toutefois, l'affectation des recrues galloises à d'autres divisions militaires a fait échouer ce plan. La 43e est donc rebaptisée la 38e division le 29 avril 1915 et est affectée en France plus tard cette année. Elle arrive sur le continent avec une mauvaise réputation, considérée comme une formation politique qui est mal formée et mal conduite. Le baptême de la division par le fe (fr)
