Burma Division

The Burma Division was a static formation of the British Indian Army. It was created as part of the 1903 reforms of the Indian Army by Herbert Kitchener, 1st Earl Kitchener then Commander-in-Chief, India. The task of such formations was to oversee area brigades commanding Internal Security troops. The formation is best thought of as a provincial or district command rather than as an infantry division. The headquarters of the division was at Maymyo.

Order of battle

At the start of World War I the division consisted of:

gollark: We should add a mix of magmas and ashes.
gollark: And that a clause banning most analysis of the site is totally fine and not stupid.
gollark: <@259196848810491914> they're saying that the T&C reverse engineering section should just be read using "common sense".
gollark: Meanwhile on DCF, people continue to apply trade hub rules logic to the reverse engineering section of the T&C!
gollark: Soon... soon I shall have my mandatory 3 xenowyrms.
