The British 74th (Yeomanry) Division was a First World War infantry division formed in Egypt in early 1917 from brigades of dismounted Yeomanry (Territorial Army cavalry). The division fought in Palestine before moving to France in May, 1918.
The division's insignia was a broken spur to signify that it was once a mounted division and now served as infantry.

Famous quotes containing the word division:
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
