The British 60th (2/2nd London) Division was the second of two second-line Territorial Force divisions formed from the surplus of London recruits in 1914 . Originally the division merely supplied the first-line Territorial divisions with drafts to replace losses through casualties. It was not until late 1915 that the division began to be equipped for a combat role and not until mid-1916 was it sent overseas to France . As a "lesser" infantry division it was sent to the minor fronts of Salonika and finally Palestine . In mid-1918 most British battalions were replaced with India n battalions and the division effectively became a British Indian Army division.
The division's insignia was a bee .
