	Montgomery @ Famous.y2u.co.uk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		By 23 October, the largest British artillery barrage of the Second World War started, Montgomery was confident he would win—but by a ruthless battle of tactical surprise and then gradual mutual attrition, rather than by manoeuvre.
		British troops became bogged down in the northern sector of his command outside the French town of Caen.
		When first shown the plans the British Lieutenant General Frederick Browning said, "I think we might be going a bridge too far." However, Montgomery insisted that all his battles ran according to his plans despite evidence to the contrary, even claiming that Arnhem had been a 90% success.

		General Gough said: ‘Please convey to 58th Division the Army Commander’s thanks for the resolute defence of the line during the night 14/15 May. It is evident from your reports that they were subjected to a series of very severe attacks and that their conduct throughout was most creditable.

		Barter took 47th Division to France in March 1915, where it was the second Territorial division to reach the front complete.
		47th Division’s finest hour during the war took place on the Somme in September 1916, when it captured High Wood, after a prolonged and dispiriting passage of British arms characterised by missed opportunities, lack of initiative and poorly co-ordinated piecemeal attacks made with inadequate artillery support.
		Surviving members of the division seem not to have laid the blame for the casualties of High Wood at the door of their GOC.

	1st Line Territorial Force Infantry Division 1918
		One of the most apparent differences is that the number of infantry battalions in Divisions on the Western Front was reduced from 13 to 10 (including the pioneer battalion).
		The 43rd and 44th Division were sent to India in 1914, and by the end of the war they had lost much of their infantry which had been sent mostly to the Middle-East as reinforcements.
		Another exception was the 53rd Division which changed to the Indian establishment between 4 June and 29 August 1918.

		In July 1942, the Divisions were reorganized as follows: 6th Division to comprise 13, 18 and 19 Brigades; 7th Division with 15, 17 and 20 Brigades, and 8th Division with 14 and 16 Brigades.

	8th London Regiment - Gentleman's Military Interest Club
		Can any body throw any light on a slight history of the 8th London Reg etc, as I understand that reg did change names or numbers quiet often, I'm just totally confused as if he was discharged, how do I have the photos taken a lot later.
		My other great Grandfather who served in the 24th Londons was wounded in 1914, I have photos of him in khaki with bandages and hospital blues.
		The 1/8th London Rifles were part of 47th (2nd London) Division which did not go to France until March 1915, therefore it is not surprising that Percy's medal card does not mention a theatre - he would have been discharged before the unit embarked.

		General George Frederick Gorringe (1868-1945) served as an active field commander in the British army during World War One, on the Palestine and Western Fronts.
		Unsuccessful in his efforts (and by no means entirely to blame), Gorringe was redeployed to the Western Front when Townshend's force surrendered in humiliation in April 1916 in what was the greatest defeat of the British Army to date.
		In October 1916 Gorringe replaced Sir Charles Barter as commander of 47th (2nd London) Territorial Division, in which capacity he remained for the conclusion of the war.
