The 182nd Brigade was an infantry brigade of the British Army that saw active service in World War I with the 61st Division and remained in the United Kingdom throughout World War II, serving with the 61st Infantry Division.

First World War

The brigade was formed as a duplicate of the 143rd Brigade and consisted of those men in the Territorial Force who did not wish to serve overseas. The brigade was assigned to the 61st Division. With the division, the brigade served on the Western Front from May 1916 onwards.

The brigade was disbanded after the war in 1919. It was, however, reformed again in 1939 in the Territorial Army, now as the 182nd Infantry Brigade, prior to the outbreak of the Second World War when war with Nazi Germany was becoming increasingly obvious.
