History

Insignia
On a recent visit to the Eden Camp Military Museum near Malton, North Yorkshire, we spotted an example of the Divisional Sleeve Patch for the 23rd Division - not by any means a common sight.
The photograph taken of the patch is reproduced below, with our sincere thanks to the management of Eden Camp for permission to feature the image.
War Diary
In respect of the War Diary for the Division, this was not one single document or file. Each Divisional Branch had its own War Diary and these need to be read in conjunction with each other. Unfortunately, due largely to the circumstances experienced by this second-line Division, which existed only between September 1939 and June 1940, many of the pages are missing or contain only very limited information.
What does exist has been recorded in this section of the history and includes a very considerable amount of material dealing with the time spent in France and Belgium with the British Expeditionary Force, culminating in the complexities of the retreat to Dunkirk.
