At the start of World War II in 1939, the British Army consisted of some thirty 'divisions' at varying levels of strength and nearly half as many independent battalions. Total number of men under arms, however, was barely 200,000, although this figure would rapidly increase due to ongoing training and the hasty formation of new units for which preparations had already begun.
