The Territorial Force
A British “Second Line Army” is provided by the Territorial Force. It consists of 14 Divisions, 14 Mounted Brigades, and certain “Army Troops.” These are organized on the same lines as the regular Units, but differ in the following points:
1. The Cavalry and Mounted Infantry Units are both provided by the “Yeomanry,” and consist of Regiments of 4 Squadrons instead of 3 as in the regular Cavalry. The Divisional Cavalry is formed of a Regiment of Yeomanry, instead of 2 Companies of Mounted Infantry as in the regular Division.
2. The Artillery is in Batteries of four guns, instead of six as in the regular Artillery.
3. The Divisional Supply Column is formed of 4 A.S.C. Companies, that is 1 per Brigade and 1 for the Divisional Troops. There are no Divisional Supply Parks.
4. There are no Divisional Ammunition Columns.
5. Cyclist Battalions will form part of the Army Troops.
The Army of India
The Field Force which can be mobilized in India for war consists of 9 Divisions and 8 Cavalry Brigades. It is composed of British and Indian Troops in combination. This fact necessitates an organization somewhat different in detail from that in England, especially as to number of Officers and men and constitution of Administrative Services. But, on the whole, the organization of the Army of India is on the same lines as that of the Home Army.
