219th Brigade (United Kingdom)

The 219th Brigade was a Home Service formation of the British Army during the First and the Second World Wars.

The 219th Brigade was raised in late 1916 as part of 73rd Division, which had the dual role of training men for overseas drafts and providing forces for home defence.

[2] 73 Division assembled around Blackpool and then in January 1917 moved to Hertfordshire and Essex to join Southern Army (Home Forces).

219 Brigade was stationed at Danbury and Maldon in Essex, moving to Southend in October.

The brigade was disbanded on 11 December 1942, its remaining battalions being converted into Medium Regiments of the Royal Artillery.
