29th Infantry Brigade (United Kingdom)

The 29th Brigade was formed in August 1914 as part of the 10th (Irish) Division, of the first wave of Kitchener's Army (K1).

The 29th Infantry Brigade landed at Anzac Cove on 6/7 August the same year, participating in the Battle of Chunuk Bair.

In early September 1917, the Division was withdrawn to Egypt and took part in the Palestine Campaign where it fought in the third Battle of Gaza.

After two months, the brigade departed for India, arriving on 26 January 1943, and came under the command of Frank Festing's 36th Indian Infantry Division, where it was trained in amphibious assault operations.

It also incorporated elements from non-British forces, including the Belgian United Nations Command.
