HINDSIGHT. 80 YEARS AGO…

It was in April 1941 that the Army’s Dorset County Division formally came into being. After theBattle of France, Britainwas seriouslythreatened with invasion byNazi Germany, a threat only partially lessened by the Luftwaffe’s inability to defeat the RAF in the Battle of Britain. From Autumn 1940 on, the Armycreated nineCounty Divisionsof 10,000 men, with the primary task of defending vulnerable coastline, allowing regular infantry divisions to counter-attack any possible German landing. DCD’s insignia was ‘adapted from the arms ofDorchesterand the County Council’. The division’s existence was short-lived. After Germany DCD Insignia..from launched its attackon Russia in June 1941 and as Autumn Council to Combat approached, the threat of invasion declined. DCD was reduced to an administrative headquarters on 24 November and wholly disbanded on 31 December 1941.
