42nd (East Lancashire) Infantry Division - Post 1945

Post 1945

In 1947, the 42nd and 55th Divisions were amalgamated to form the 42nd (Lancashire) Division as part of the post-war Territorial Army but this was disbanded by 1968 with changes to the Territorial Army structure.

In the modern British Army the 42 North West Brigade has adopted the former 42nd (Lancashire) Division badge.

Famous quotes containing the word post:

    I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage, with my books, my family and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post which any human power can give.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
