It remained in France until March 1916, when it was broken up.<ref>{{cite web|last=Baker|first=Chris|accessdate=2009-07-06|title=The British Corps of 1914-1918|url=http://www.1914-1918.net/corps.htm}}</ref> The corps consisted of the [[1st Indian Cavalry Division]] and the [[2nd Indian Cavalry Division]], and together with the [[Indian Corps]] it formed [[Indian Expeditionary Force A]].<ref>Sumner, Konstam, Chappell, p.5</ref><br />
