4th Mounted Division in the Great War - The Wartime Memories Project -

4th Mounted Division

4th Mounted Division was formed on 20th of March 1916. It remained in England on Home Defence duties throughout its existence. In July 1916 the yeomanry regiments were dismounted and their horses sent to remount depots. The regiments then converted to yeomanry cyclist regiments and the division was then renamed the 2nd Cyclist Division. The Headquarters was at Colchester and Brigadier-General Lord Lovat was appointed to command.
