25 INFANTRY DIVISION
The 25 Infantry Division was originally formed in Bangalore in South India on August 1, 1942 and it was disbanded at the end of World War II. The Division's original role was to meet any attempted Japanese invasion while at the same time training actively for jungle warfare. In April 1945 the Division was withdrawn to South India to prepare for 'Operation Zipper,' the invasion of British Malaya, having been chosen for the assault landing (amphibious) role. The Division was disbanded in Malaya in February and March 1946. It was re-raised by Indian Army in 1948. In October 1962 the Division was under XV Corps in Western Command. Its Head Quarter was at Poonch and it included the 80th, 93rd and 120th Infantry Brigades. The formation badge and sleeve patch of this Division has a red ‘Ace of Spades’ on black background.
