10 INFANTRY DIVISION

10 INFANTRY DIVISION

The 10 Infantry Division was formed in Iraq in early 1941 under Major-General W.A.K. Fraser. This was a war formed Infantry division of the Indian Army during World War II. In four years, the Division traveled over 4,000 miles (6,400 km) from Tehran to Trieste, fought three little wars and fought two great campaigns: Anglo-Iraqi War, Invasion of Syria-Lebanon, Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran, North African Campaign and Italian Campaign. The 10 Infantry Division is also known as Dah Division. In Sanskrit the word ‘dah’ means to torment, grieve or burn. The origin of the word dag or tag or day is clearly associated with the Sanskrit word 'dah'. The Assamese script has its own numerals, with 10 being ‘dah’, as it is also in Old Persian. The formation badge and sleeve patch of this Division has two crossed dahs on black background.
