	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: 61st Division (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Divisions either organized before or during World War I did not use the designation "infantry." The re-designation of these divisions as infantry came sometime after World War I when the divisions' structure was reorganized to include specialists in a wide variety of functions.
		Beside the infantry division, motorized and airborne divisions were formed as well as a light (truck) division, a light (jungle) division, and a mountain division.
		The airborne division was initially a miniature version of the infantry division with the addition of a small antiaircraft battalion, one parachute, and two glider regiments.

	battle-fromelles
		The infantry plan was to attack the right hand (western) side of the salient using the British 61st Division and the left hand side with the Australian 5th Division, the dividing line between the divisions being roughly north to south through VC Corner.
		Advancing with three brigades side by side the 61st Division came under intense artillery and machine-gun fire, both in the assembly trenches and in No Man’s Land, and only on their extreme right did they reach the enemy trenches — but even there they were driven back and no permanent gains were made.
		The 61st Division asked the 15th Brigade to support them in another attack at 21.00 hours but this was cancelled — though not before the 15th had gone in, suffering more casualties.

	TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD IN WORLD WAR I (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The glorious record of this division, the many engagements in which it participated with honor and distinction, the praises, citations, and decorations which were won by this division as a fighting unit, and by its individual members, are known to all who followed the history of the World War in the making.
		The Division’s main line of resistance was established along the slope of Hill 167, the territory between that and the river being held by a series of small outposts.
		Indications that the Division would remain overseas indefinitely seemed to be strengthened by the breaking up of the 1st Corps, in the latter part of March, the passing to the S.0.S. of the 78th and 80th Divisions, and the transfer of the 36th to the 8th Corps.
