The history of the Twentieth (Light) Division
Inglefield, Valentine Erskine
Great Britain. Army. Division, 20th (Light); World War, 1914-1918 -- Regimental histories -- Great Britain
The Division took no part in the advance to the Rhine. Major-General
Carey took over command of the XVIIth Corps sector during the 11th. The
61st Brigade moved to Feignies that day and the 59th Brigade to the
Malplaquet area on the 12th. Three days later the 60th Brigade moved
back to La Flamengrie, south-east of Roisin.
On the 23rd of November the Division began to withdraw through Cambrai
to the district round Marieux, where all units had arrived by the 2nd
of December.
With the beginning of demobilisation in January 1919 the 20th Division
ceased to exist as a fighting force. It had fulfilled its rôle; its
record is one of which it may well be proud.
