Fictional
Although not explicitly stated, there is evidence that two fictional infantry regiments depicted on British television have been in the geographical area covered by the King's Division:
- King's Own Fusiliers - The television drama series Soldier Soldier depicts the lives of members of the 1st Battalion, King's Own Fusiliers. During Options for Change, the King's Fusiliers is shown amalgamating with a regiment from Cumbria to become the King's Own Fusiliers. As it is unlikely that regiments from different parts of the country would amalgamate, it can be inferred that the King's Fusiliers, and then the King's Own Fusiliers, are a north-west based regiment.
- Northdale Rifles - the television film The Mark of Cain depicts the deployment to Iraq of the 1st Battalion, Northdale Rifles. Photographs of members of this regiment show that its cap badge contains the Red Rose of Lancashire, suggesting that the Northdale Rifles is a Lancashire-based regiment.

Famous quotes containing the word fictional:
“It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.... This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
