	Territorial Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Territorial Force was originally formed by the Secretary of State for War, Richard Burdon Haldane, following the passage of the "Territorial and Reserve Forces Bill" on August 2, 1907 and contained 14 infantry divisions, each administered by a County Association.
		The use of the word territorial signified that the volunteers who served with the force were under no obligation to serve overseas — in 1910, when asked to nominate for Imperial Service overseas in the event of mobililzation, less that 10% of the Force chose to do so.
		Instead of supplying complete combat divisions, its function was to round out regular formations by supplying units of up to battalion size (including infantry and light artillery, but not tracked armour), and supply extra support functions such as engineers, medical units and military police.

	HELLFIRE CORNER - The North Staffordshire Regiment at Wulverghem
		The North Midland Division was brought into the line in this particular section as it was considered to be relatively quiet, and would be the best place for an inexperienced formation to acclimatise to the routine of trench warfare.
		The Staffordshire Brigade was allotted the southern portion of the North Midland Division's area of responsibility, a frontage of approximately 2,000 yards.
		While the battle continued in the north, rudimentary anti-gas pads; cotton wool wrapped in gauze and soaked in chemicals, were issued to the units of the Brigade.

	The 59th (2nd North Midland) Division 1914-1918
		This 2nd-Line Territorial Division was formed in January 1915, although men were enlisted for the reserve units of the 1st-Line from September 1914 onwards.
		From June 1915, the units of the Division supplied replacement drafts for the 1st-Line 46th Division.
		The 59th was then again reconstituted as a Garrison Division, and underwent training to enable it to hold a sector of front line again.

		The two largest divisions for instance, the 1st and 2nd Southern under two staunch Republicans, Liam Lynch and Earnie O'Malley respectively, contained a third of the I.R.A.'s total force (see Appendices D and G).
		The garrison consisted of roughly 180 men drawn from the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 1st Dublin Brigade, armed with Lee Enfields, Mauser carbines, at least five Thompsons, two Lewis guns, and the Rolls Royce Whippet 'The Mutineer'.
		GHQ feared that, with control of Limerick, the Republicans would be able to consolidate their hold on the south and the west, freeing up forces to drive on Dublin (in fact, Lynch had adopted a purely defensive strategy, but such a possibility in the future was not out of the question).

		The 12 territorial divisions were brought into full time service and were given the reponsibility (assisted by their command and area superiors) of raising a second division.
		But, this division from late December until the end of the war, never really achieved a combat capability and the division never ceased to exist, always having some personnel and equipment assigned during this period.
		The 2nd Argylls, blasted at Singapore, were also reinstated, and served in the 15th Scottish Division in the Scottish Corridor in Normandy, at Operation Epsom.

		I think the British 51st (Highland) Division was virtually lost at Calais in 1940, when it was forced to surrender, and was then rebuilt to serve in North Africa and NW Europe.
		Thus, a division may be rebuilt, even though it existed all along (on paper and with personnel assigned).
		By your definition the 13th Airborne, 93rd, 98th and 106th infantry division were not combat active division; for they never saw combat in an active divisional roll.

		By now the decision had been taken to use the 25th King's to help reconstitute 59th (2nd North Midland) Division, a task for which just two weeks training in a quiet part of the front was considered to be sufficient.
		"The leading troops of the 57th and 59th Divisions, already close to the Schelde, met with very determined opposition, and, although well supported by divisional artillery and by some counter-battery work, could make little progress, owing to fire from a convent, over which the Red Cross flag was flying, and its enclosures.
		In the 59th Division three men of the 36/Northumberland Fusiliers (178th Bde) managed to cross by the destroyed bridge at Pont à Chin, but a passage by daylight in any strength was out of the question.

		Motorized troops of division size would probably have to be developed over the course of several upgrades.
		The rest of the army divisions were TF units that, despite Kitchener's disapproval (his bias is shown by their being numbered as 'junior' to his own New Army formations), were needed to fight in this war where men and materiel were drained at an appaling rate.
		In mid August 1915 orders were issued to form a 2nd Line Territorial Force from the divisions that had volunteered 60% of their men for regular service.
