History



First World War


The 19th Infantry Brigade was formed in France as an independent brigade[1] It saw action on the Western Front including the Battle of Mons in August 1914.[2] It then joined the 2nd Division on 19 August 1915, but left to join the 33rd Division on 25 November 1915.[3]



Order of battle


Its components included:[3]



  • 2nd Battalion, Royal Welch Fusiliers

  • 1st Battalion, Cameronians (Scottish Rifles)

  • 1st Battalion, Middlesex Regiment

  • 2nd Battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders


  • 1/5th Battalion, Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) (later 5/6th Battalion) – joined 19 November 1914



Second World War


The 19th Infantry Brigade was a regular British Army formation at the beginning of the Second World War. It had been raised in 1938 for Internal Security in Palestine, and appears to have joined the 7th Infantry Division on its reformation in September–October 1938. On 3 September 1939, it was converted to HQ Jerusalem Area.[4]



Post-1945


In the 1980s, the 19th Brigade was based at Colchester as part of the 3rd Armoured Division.[5]


Structure in 1989:[6]



  • Headquarters 19th Infantry Brigade and 209th Signal Squadron, Royal Corps of Signals

  • 1st Battalion, King's Own Royal Border Regiment

  • 1st Battalion, Royal Anglian Regiment

  • 3rd Battalion, Royal Anglian Regiment

  • 45th Field Regiment, Royal Artillery

  • 34th Field Squadron, Royal Engineers


It would have had to cross the Channel to join the rest of the division, stationed with the British Army of the Rhine in Germany. Following the disbandment of the 3rd Armoured Division following the end of the Cold War, the brigade joined the new 3rd Mechanised Division, and moved to Catterick Garrison in Yorkshire in April 1993.[7]


As part of the Delivering Security in a Changing World review in 2003, it was announced that the brigade was to become a 'Light' formation. The Brigade deployed on Operation Telic 2 between May and November 2003 taking over from 7 Armoured Brigade .The brigade became 19 Light Brigade as of 1 January 2005, and deployed to Iraq on Operation Telic 9(Nov 2006 – May 2007) for an unusually long 7-month tour before handing over to 1 Mechanised Brigade and returning to Catterick. It then began moving to Northern Ireland following the end of Operation Banner and "normalisation" of British military operations in the province.[8]
