The 19th (Western) Division was a New Army division formed in 1914. It served in France from mid-1915, and served at Ypres several times during the war, most notably during the Battle of Messines in June 1917, capturing the ground where this memorial now stands, at Passchendaele and also in the Battle of the Lys in April 1918. By the end of the war the division had suffered more than 39,000 casualties.
