Badges of UK based British Units at Gallipoli Page 3

These divisions were all raised when the Territorial Army was established in 1908 from units comprised of part-time volunteers. These troops were intended only as second-line units to be used for home defence, thus freeing Regular Army units for overseas service. After the outbreak of WW I, however, the Territorial Army troops were asked to serve as first-line troops overseas, and the great majority of men agreed.
