The 76th Infantry Division was an infantry division of the British Army, which was formed in November 1941 and served during the Second World War. It was created when the Norfolk County Division, initially raised in 1940 to defend the Norfolk coast from a potential German invasion, was redesignated. The division maintained the defensive duties that had been assigned to it, prior to it being renamed, until late 1942 when it became a training formation. It was then responsible for providing final tactical and field training to soldiers who had already passed their initial training. After five additional weeks of training, the soldiers were posted to fighting formations overseas. The formation was used as a source of reinforcements for the 21st Army Group, that was fighting in the Normandy ca

  • La 76e division d'infanterie (Infantry Division) de la British Army est créée lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, pour défendre la côte du Norfolk contre une possible invasion allemande. Quand cette menace s'éloigne, elle devient une division chargée de la formation des nouveaux soldats à la fin de l'année 1942. Les nouvelles recrues sont envoyées dans cette unité pour y parfaire leur entraînement. Une fois celui-ci terminé, elles sont dispersées dans les différentes formations de l'armée britannique. En outre, elle sert de réserve pour le 21e groupe d'armées qui combat en Normandie. Après que toutes les troupes disponibles au Royaume-Uni ont quitté le territoire pour rejoindre la France, l'unité est dissoute en septembre 1944. (fr)
