AR,
Thanks!
Do you know which of those units (if any) were to redeploy to Pacific/SEAsia? I just checked wiki entry on British 6th AB Div (I had not known of their existence actually, a bit shadowed by British 1st AB perhaps in a good way ;)), and came to know that they deployed 1 brigade to SE Asia, with plans to deploy the entire 6th AB Division. The Brits also planned to move forward another newly raised Airborne Division, 44th Indian AB, to participate in Op. Olympic.
