First World War [ edit ]
Men of the 15th (Service) Battalion (1st London Welsh), Royal Welsh Fusiliers in the snow-covered front line trenches at Fleurbaix, 28 December 1917.
The 113th Brigade was originally raised in the First World War from men volunteering for Lord Kitchener 's New Armies , and was assigned to the 38th (Welsh) Division . The brigade, composed entirely of four battalions of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers , served in the trenches of the Western Front throughout the war.
Order of battle [ edit ]
The 113th Brigade was constituted as follows during the war:[1]
13th (Service) Battalion (1st North Wales), Royal Welsh Fusiliers (from November 1914 )
14th (Service) Battalion, Royal Welsh Fusiliers (from November 1914 )
15th (Service) Battalion (1st London Welsh), Royal Welsh Fusiliers (from November 1914, disbanded February 1918 )
16th (Service) Battalion, Royal Welsh Fusiliers (from November 1914 )
17th (Service) Battalion (2nd North Wales), Royal Welsh Fusiliers (from February 1915, left July 1915 )
113th Machine Gun Company, Machine Gun Corps (from 19 May 1916, moved to 38th Battalion, Machine Gun Corps March 1918 )
113th Trench Mortar Battery (from 26 December 1915 )
Second World War [ edit ]
The brigade and division were both disbanded after the war, but were reformed in the Territorial Army (TA ), the British Army's part-time reserve force, in the latter half of 1939 as war with Nazi Germany seemed increasingly likely. As a consequence of this, the Territorial Army was ordered to be doubled in size, with each unit forming a 2nd Line duplicate. The 38th (Welsh) Infantry Division was reconstituted as was the brigade, now the 113th Infantry Brigade . The 113th Brigade, under the command of Brigadier Llewellyn Alston , was formed as a duplicate of the 160th Infantry Brigade and initially consisted of two TA battalions, the 15th and 2/5th, of the Welch Regiment and one, the 4th, of the Monmouthshire Regiment . However, the brigade never saw active service outside the United Kingdom during the Second World War and was reduced to a Lower Establishment and eventually became a training brigade.
