216th Brigade (United Kingdom)

The 216th Brigade was a Home Service formation of the British Army during the First and the Second World Wars.

216 Bde was raised in late 1916 as part of 72nd Division, which had the dual role of training men for overseas drafts and providing forces for home defence.

Disbandment began in January 1918 and its last elements disappeared on 8 April 1918.

It was composed of Scottish infantry battalions, which assembled on 2 December 1940.
