 By early 1915 the need was growing for troops to be sent from India to various theatres of war, and the first drafts and formed units from the Wessex Divisions began to go on active service, particularly to the Mesopotamian Front.By the end of the war only one battalion remained in India from the two Devon & Cornwall brigades.The TF (reorganised as the Territorial Army (TA) in 1921) began to reform on 7 February 1920.
