North Midland Brigade
For the similarly named Yeomanry brigade, see North Midland Mounted Brigade.
The North Midland Brigade was an infantry brigade of the Volunteer Force, part of the British Army.
When the Territorial Force was formed in 1908 as a result of the Haldane Reforms, the North Midland Division was created by combining two existing Volunteer Infantry Brigades, the Staffordshire Brigade and the North Midland Brigade. The North Midland Brigade was split into two:
- the Lincoln and Leicester Brigade composed of two battalions each of the Lincolnshire and Leicestershire Regiments and
- the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Brigade comprising four battalions of the Sherwood Foresters (Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment).[1]
