It took part in the Mesopotamian campaign and formed part of the occupation force for Iraq post-war. It was not reformed for the Second World War.[1] HistoryThe 52nd Brigade was formed in Mesopotamia on 13 September 1917 in 15th Indian Division.[2] It was formed from battalions that had already been in Mesopotamia for some months, guarding lines of communications. In October 1917 it was transferred to 17th Indian Division where it remained for the rest of the war, taking part in the Action at Fat-ha Gorge on the Little Zab (23–26 October 1918) and the Battle of Sharqat (28–30 October 1918).[3] At the end of the war, the 17th Division was chosen to form part of the occupation force for Iraq. It took part in the Iraq Rebellion in 1920. In August 1923, the division was reduced to a single brigade; the last British troops left in March 1927 and the Indian ones in November 1928.[3] Order of battleThe brigade had the following composition in the First World War:[4]
