british 3rd infantry division

The British 3rd Infantry Division was part of the ill-fated British Expeditionary Force evacuated from Dunkirk early in World War II. It was the first British division to land at 'Sword' beach on D-Day. When General Bernard Montgomery commanded the division during World War II, the insignia was the 'pattern of three' - a black triangle trisected by an inverted red triangle. See British 3rd Division (World War I) for the division's World War I history. Currently the 3rd Division is the only division at continual operational readiness in the United Kingdom and comprises three mechanised brigades; the 1st, 12th and 19th.
