RJP: 62 Div: Disbandments + Latest edit 8 Apr 2010

11. After the Battalion Disbandments (See Map 1)

The disbandments had taken place while 62 Div was in the line in the Oppy - Gavrelle sector. Between 8 and 12.3.18 they were relieved by 56 Div and moved to XIII Corps Reserve with Divisional HQ at Villers-Châtel. Then between 28.2.18 and 3.3.18 they moved back into the line in the left-hand sector of XIII Corps (Arleux - Acheville) and there experienced a further period of routine trench warfare. On 9.3.18 their four machine gun companies, 201, 208, 212 and 213 Companies Machine Gun Corps were amalgamated into the new 62 Battalion MGC. The division was still in this sector when the German MICHAEL offensive opened on 21.3.18.
