The 43rd (Wessex) Infantry Division was an infantry division of Britain's Territorial Army (TA). The division was first formed in 1908, as the Wessex Division. During the First World War, it was broken-up and never served as a complete formation. It was reformed in the TA in 1920, and then served in the campaign in North West Europe from June 1944 until May 1945, during the Second World War. The division suffered heavy casualties and gained an excellent reputation. After the Second World War, the division formed part of the postwar TA, and became the 43rd (Wessex) Division/District in 1961. It was finally disbanded in 1967.

  • 제43웨섹스 보병사단은 영국 육군의 보병사단이다. 원래 이 부대는 국토방위군의 일부로 웨섹스 사단이라는 명칭 하에 1908년 설립되었지만 1920년 다른 국토방위군 사단과 함께 해산되었다. 1915년에 사단은 제43(웨섹스)사단이 되었다. 국토의용군의 일부로써 1920년에는 제43(웨섹스)보병사단이라는 이름 하에 개편되었다. 제45보병사단 밑 제45제2웨섹스사단과 함께 임무 교대를 했으며, 이 사단은 제1차 세계 대전과 제2차 세계 대전 당시 정규군으로 복무했다. 사단은 제2차 세계 대전 당시 서부 전선 기간인 1944년 6월부터 1945년 5월까지 두각을 나타냈다. 이들은 전투에서 끔찍한 사상자가 발생했지만 훌륭한 평판을 받았으며, 독일 국방군에게는 노란 악마 혹은 영국 SS사단로 불리기도 했다. 사단은 다시 해체되었고, 전후 다시 국토방위군의 사단으로 편입되었다. 베켓은 2008년 활동을 중단한 국토방위군이 사령관과 주요 장교들이 임명된 1947년 3월 및 4월이 되기 전인 1947년 1월 1일부터 활동을 시작했다고 보고 있다. 1961년 5월 1일 사단은 제43웨섹스사단 군관구가 되는 군관구와 병합되었다.
