7 INFANTRY DIVISION
7 INFANTRY DIVISION The 7 Infantry Division was a war-formed infantry division, part of the Indian Army during World War II. The division was created on October 1, 1940 at Attock. Its formation sign was an arrow, pointing bottom right to top left, in yellow on a black background. The Division was sometimes known as the ‘Golden Arrow’ Division from this sign. When first formed, the Division consisted of the 13th, 14th and 16th Indian Infantry Brigades, but within eighteen months, both the 13th Brigade and 16th Brigade were removed and were dispatched to Burma, where both fought during the Japanese conquest of Burma. The 14th Brigade was renumbered the 114th Brigade and remained with the division.
