It was formed in August 1914 for the home defence of the United Kingdom from four existing mounted brigades of the Territorial Force, each of three regiments of Yeomanry.http://www.1914-1918.net/CAVALRY/1mtddiv.htm The 1st Mounted Division, TF 1914–1918 The Long, Long Trail Chris Baker https://web.archive.org/web/20080422083100/http://www.1914-1918.net/CAVALRY/1mtddiv.htm 22 April 2008 The divisional order of battle changed often, as the 1st LineLines In accordance with the Territorial and Reserve Forces Act 1907 (7 Edw. 7, c.9) which brought the Territorial Force into being, the TF was intended to be a home defence force for service during wartime and members could not be compelled to serve outside the country. However, on the outbreak of war on 4 August 1914, many members volunteered for Imperial Service. Therefore, TF units were split into 1st Line (liable for overseas service) and 2nd Line (home service for those unable or unwilling to serve overseas) units.Rinaldi 2008 35 2nd Line units performed the home defence role, although most of these were also posted abroad in due course.http://www.1914-1918.net/tf.htm Was my soldier in the Territorial Force (TF)?

It was converted to the 1st Cyclist Division in July 1916, and was broken up in November 1916 without being involved in active service. It remained in East Anglia throughout its existence. An unrelated 1st Mounted Division was formed in July 1916, from the 3rd Mounted Division, lasting until September 1917. Another incarnation of 1st Mounted Division was created in April 1918 from the Yeomanry Mounted Division, lasting until July 1918. History 1st Mounted Division The Mounted Division was formed on 5 August 1914, immediately after the outbreak of World War I, from four existing mounted brigades of the Territorial ForceEastern, 1st South Midland, 2nd South Midland, and Notts. and Derby. It was assembled in East Anglia with Headquarters at Bury St Edmunds and the brigades at Ipswich, Diss and two at Bury. The division was to spend its entire existence in East Anglia.Becke 1936 7 Later in the month, a decision was made to concentrate mounted troops in the Churn area of Berkshire and at the end of August 1914 these were formed into a new 2nd Mounted Division. The original division was designated as 1st Mounted Division and gained three more 1st LineLines mounted brigadesSouth Wales, Welsh Border, and North Midlandto replace the 1st South Midland, 2nd South Midland, and Notts. and Derby brigades. As the 1st Line mounted brigades left for overseas service, they were replaced by 2nd Line formations. As with other 2nd Line divisionswhich the 1st Mounted Division was in all but namethe division experienced considerable problems with regard to equipment and personnel. Even as late as July 1915, some Royal Horse Artillery batteries were without guns, wagons or harnesses, machine guns were lacking and few of the men had fired a recruits' course of musketry. By the beginning of March 1916, the last 1st Line brigades had left and the division was now composed entirely of 2nd Line formations. On 31 March 1916, the remaining mounted brigades were ordered to be numbered in a single sequence and the division now commanded the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Mounted Brigades. 1st Cyclist Division In July 1916 there was a major reorganization of 2nd Line yeomanry units in the United Kingdom. All but 12 regiments were converted to cyclists: the rest were dismounted, handed over their horses to the remount depots and were issued with bicycles. The 1st Mounted Division was reorganized as the 1st Cyclist Division, now commanding the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Cyclist Brigades. On reorganization, 2nd Mounted Brigadewith 2/1st Royal 1st Devon, 2/1st Montgomeryshire and 2/1st Fife and Forfar Yeomanrywas posted to the new 1st Mounted Division (3rd Mounted Division redesignated) and remained mounted.Becke 1936 22 In exchange, the 12th Mounted Brigade (2/1st London) joined as the 4th Cyclist Brigade.Becke 1936 5 A further reorganization in November 1916 saw the 1st Cyclist Division broken up. The cyclist brigades were dispersed and the yeomanry regiments were amalgamated in pairs to form Yeomanry Cyclist Regiments in new cyclist brigades. Other formations Two other divisions of the British Army were named 1st Mounted Division during World War I.Becke 1936 35 When the original division was converted to a cyclist division in July 1916, the 3rd Mounted Division was renumbered as the 1st Mounted Division as it was the only remaining mounted division.The 2nd Mounted Division was broken up in Egypt on 21 January 1916Becke 1936 17 and the 4th Mounted Division was reformed as the 2nd Cyclist Division at the same time that the 1st Mounted Division became the 1st Cyclist Division.Becke 1936 27 It, too, was converted to cyclists as The Cyclist Division on 4 September 1917.Becke 1936 19 In March 1918, the 1st Indian Cavalry Division was broken up in France. The British units remained on the Western Front and the Indian elements were sent to Egypt.Perry 1993 16 By an Egyptian Expeditionary Force GHQ Order of 12 April 1918, the mounted troops of the EEF were reorganized when the Indian Army units arrived in theatre. On 24 April 1918, the Yeomanry Mounted Division was indianizedBritish divisions were converted to the British Indian Army standard whereby brigades only retained one British regiment or battalion and most support units were Indian (artillery excepted). and its title was changed to 1st Mounted Division.Becke 1936 34 On 22 July 1918, it was renumbered as the 4th Cavalry Division.Perry 1993 22 Orders of battle 1st Mounted Division – August 1914On formation immediately after the outbreak of World War I, the 1st Mounted Division commanded the following units:Becke 1936 4 Eastern Mounted Brigade 1/1st Suffolk Yeomanry 1/1st Norfolk Yeomanry 1/1st Essex YeomanryEssexY 1/1st Essex Yeomanry left the Eastern Mounted Brigade on 1 December 1914 and joined the 8th Cavalry Brigade in France.James 1978 18The Long, Long Trail 9 April 2015 Baker Chris The Essex Yeomanry http://www.1914-1918.net/essexyeo.htm It was replaced by 2nd King Edward's Horse.James 1978 16 2nd King Edward's Horse2KEH 2nd King Edward's Horse replaced 1/1st Essex Yeomanry in Eastern Mounted Brigade in December 1914; it left on 1 February 1915 for the Canadian Cavalry Brigade.
