The Cheshire Brigade, later 159th (Cheshire) Brigade, was an infantry formation of Britain's Volunteer Force created in 1900. It was carried over into the Territorial Force in 1908 and mobilised on the outbreak of the First World War. It fought at Gallipoli and in Palestine as part of 53rd (Welsh) Division. By the end of the war all its Cheshire units had left and it was composed of one Welsh battalion with the remainder drawn from the British Indian Army. It was not reformed after the war.
