The three old commands of the British Army in Ireland replaced by seven
brigades in two regular divisions.
The 5th Division, under Major-General Sir Hugh Jeudwine, had four
brigades (including Dublin and Belfast) with the Curragh as its HQ.
The 6th Division, under Major-General Sir Peter Strickland, had four

Brigade HQ for the 17th Brigade based in Cork; the 18th Brigade is based in
