The 24th Division was an infantry division of the British Army, raised in September 1914 from men volunteering for Lord Kitchener's New Armies during the First World War.

After almost a year spent training in England the division was sent to the Western Front between August and September 1915.

It served in Belgium and France in the trenches of the Western Front for the duration of the war.

It moved to France in August 1915 and it saw action at the Battle of the Somme in 1916, the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917 and the Final Advance in Picardy in 1918.

From its arrival in France to May 1917, it was commanded by Major-General John Capper.
