The 52nd (Lowland) Division were to be transported to Deelen Airfield by air to reinforce the 1st Airborne Division, but only once the 2nd British Army had reached Arnhem and the area was safe. Despite offers to be delivered into the thick of the action once it was recognised that the plight of the 1st Airborne was serious, the Division was not used and remained in England. Listed below is all that is known about the composition of the 52nd (Lowland) Division. Please let me know of any further information, including the commanders of any units, and also the size of formations, pegasusarchive@googlemail.com.
