		The 52nd Lowland Division was part of the British Expeditionary Force in France in 1940
		The famous territorial Regiments that were incorporated in the 52nd Lowland Division, were all drawn from the Scottish lowlands, and have a history that in some cases goes back more than 300 years.
		In January 1945 the 52nd Division participated in Operation Blackcock, the clearing of the Roer Triangle between the rivers Meuse and Roer.

	British 52nd (Lowland) Division - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The British 52nd (Lowland) Division was a Territorial Army division.
		The division moved to Egypt where it manned the east-facing defensive fortifications during the Battle of Romani but was not heavily involved in the fighting which was concentrated on the Australian light horse and New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade to the south.

		For instance, the second line 'Wessex Division' was originally called the '2nd Wessex Division' (later the 45th Division) and the second line battalion for the 1/5th East Surreys was the 2/5th East Surreys.
		The 42nd and 52nd divisions were sent to Gallipoli as reinforcements for the Helles front in May and June of 1915.
		Although the British Government, as national government, is responsible for the defence of the territories, and holds direct control of military units raised within them, the local forces are raised and funded by the governments or the territories.

	Sir Aylmer Gould Hunter-Weston ; "The Butcher of Helles"
		The British 29th Division, known as the Incomparable Division, was a First World War regular army infantry division formed in early 1915 by combining various units that had been acting as garrisons about the British Empire.
		Nicknamed 'Hunter-Bunter', Hunter-Weston was a classic example of the British "donkey" general — he was also referred to as "The Butcher of Helles" for his utter disregard for the welfare of his troops and his incompetent battle plans.
		He claimed he was "blooding the pups" when he made the inexperienced 156th Brigade of the British 52nd (Lowland) Division attack without artillery support during the Battle of Gully Ravine.

		The gun-armed Car, Armoured was in simple terms a fighting car, those used in NW Europe being Daimler, Humber, AEC 'Matador with a bigger gun and used to support the lightly armoured cars', the American T17E1 Staghound and M8 Greyhound and the Canadian Fox.
		Also, each British Corps Signals unit should have had two Staghound 37mm each, and each British Infantry Division should have had one Humber IV 37mm and two Staghound 37mm in its Signals organisation, while Canadian Infrantry Divisions were due 3 Staghounds.
		As the British Army - or more correctly, the British Government - amalgamates and even disbands regiments at regular intervals, just knowing which regimental title a unit had at a particular time, and what it has now, is an art and the subject of many books in itself.

		The Canadians were to establish a bridgehead on the island through which the British 52nd Lowland Division would pass to continue the assault.
		The first two are for 9.4 cm artillery and the third for fire direction; (5) Lt./General Wilhelm Daser, Commander of the 70th Infantry Division and Fortress Commander of Walcheren led into captivity accompanied by Major Hugh Johnston of the Royal Scots.
		Painful because it seems clear that its purpose was diversionary: to draw onto themselves enemy forces and fire which otherwise would have been available to the German 70th Infantry Division to oppose the landings by the British 52nd Lowland Division and various British Commando Units.
