Military unit
The South Wales Mounted Brigade was a formation of the Territorial Force of the British Army , organised in 1908. After home defence service, it was posted to Egypt , where it was absorbed into the 4th Dismounted Brigade in March 1916.
History [ edit ]
Formation [ edit ]
Under the terms of the Territorial and Reserve Forces Act 1907 (7 Edw.7, c.9), the brigade was formed in 1908 as part of the Territorial Force . It consisted of three yeomanry regiments, a horse artillery battery and ammunition column, a transport and supply column and a field ambulance .[2]
As the name suggests, the units were drawn from the South Wales area, with the exception of the field ambulance which was based in Hereford , England .[3]
Mobilisation for World War I [ edit ]
The brigade was mobilised on 4 August 1914 at the outbreak of the First World War , assembled at Hereford and moved to East Anglia by the end of August 1914. It joined the 1st Mounted Division in August 1914,[4] 1st South Midland Mounted Brigade [5] 2nd Mounted Division .[6] 2/1st Eastern Mounted Brigade when it departed for Egypt.[5]
The brigade was posted to Egypt in March 1916. On 20 March, South Wales Mounted Brigade was absorbed into the 4th Dismounted Brigade [7] Welsh Border Mounted Brigade [7] 231st Brigade in the 74th (Yeomanry) Division .[8]
Commanders [ edit ]
The South Wales Mounted Brigade was commanded from 1 January 1913 by Colonel Frederick Fryer . He was promoted to brigadier general on 5 August 1914.[9]
