Article reassessed and graded as start class. WWII & British Task Forces -- dashiellx ( talk) 16:15, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Was the division made up of British people or Indian people? I find it hard to believe they could have been British, given the amount of casualties suffered... 211.28.54.73 ( talk) 12:39, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
I agree that the nationality of the troops can't be assumed from the casualty figures! I suppose technically, as this was before the British Nationality Act 1948, none were British citizens but all were British subjects. However, there is one unit of native British troops missing from the Divisional order of battle. This is the 1st battalion Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry, who were wiped out in Kensington Box in the Battle of Gazala, June 1942. I am no expert, but am investigating these events and will edit the page once I have confirmed the facts. IainWallace ( talk) 22:53, 4 May 2012 (UTC) The 1st battalion Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry was part of the 21st Indian Brigade within the 10th Division for about six months before its destruction in the "Cauldron" at Gazala. IainWallace ( talk) 23:02, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
List of Indian divisions in World War I says that there was a 10th division in WW 1 also. Vinay84 ( talk) 09:59, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
