The Division lost its squadron of the 19th Hussars, receiving in its place "C" squadron of the Northamptonshire Yeomanry.
It was during the sojourn in Armentieres that the "Fancies," without mention of whom no history of the Division would be complete, came into being.

With the "Follies," the 4th Division troupe, formed a few weeks before them, also in Armentieres, they were the forerunners of the Divisional theatrical troupes which subsequently became universal.
At Armentieres also took place the first 6th Divisional Horse Show, a highly successful two-day show--the first of its kind held in the B.E.F.
On the 27th May 1915 began the relief of the Division by the 27th Division, and on the following days its move northwards to join the newly formed VI Corps.

Major-Gen.

Sir John Keir left on the 27th to take up command of the new corps, taking with him--as B.G., R.A .-- Brig.-Gen.
