Untitled[edit]

On the pages which lead from here, in which the several divisions are described, the first heading is "Unit History". In those articles I have seen, there is little under this heading as yet but there is a great deal of scope for filling it out. I suggest that the "Unit history" should be placed after "Battles". In this way we should have the summary of the division before the detail of its work. We should know what we were reading about before we engaged in a long history.

Unless I find a strong argument against this, I shall move the headings in the divisional pages accordingly. (RJP 10:35, 29 September 2005 (UTC))[reply]

63rd (Royal Naval) Division[edit]

Is there any reason why the 63rd (Royal Naval) Division is marked as a New Army division? Surely if there was ever a good candidate for "Other" this unique outfit (Royal Navy and Royal Marine personnel serving under command of the War Office) would be it!
