Their captions generally need to lose their full stops.
It was eventually deployed for combat, in May 1940, when it was dispatched to France and fought in the Battle of France before being withdrawn to the UK in June during Operation Aerial. awkward, maybe split it up?
Better, but lots of "then"s. I don't think that so many are necessary because the dates keep things in chronological order for the reader. And I'd suggest that Then, in May 1940, the division was deployed to France and then fought in the Battle of France. is actually misleading as it suggests that the division was sent to France before the invasion, rather than in response to it.--

until 1944. In May 1944 redundant year
four infantry and one mobile division Should be plural. Suggest reversing the order to allow for that
operating in the north-east of the country Shouldn't this be the north-west?
Thank you for your review and comments, so far. I have attempted to address them all. Regarding the north-east, Georges was in command of the French 1st Army Group that initially was concentrated on the Franco-Belgian border. The subsequent fighting took place in the Somme department, before the retreat west to get back to the UK. NE seems appropriate, although I have seen most sources describe this area just as northern France.

According to Michael Carver, a general, historian who fought in the battle ?
Looks like some words were missing here! He is a former general and a historian. But, I just removed that so it reads "Carver, who fought in the battle," which is more concise and clear.

Better, but I'd suggest that you specify his qualifications as some random bloke who fought in the battle doesn't necessarily have a lot of credibility--

Lumsden quarrelled with his superior Lieutenant-General Willoughby Norrie to have his division, which now contained the majority of the army’s armoured forces, to be relieved after weeks of continuous action. awkward
Defence analyst Charles Heyman, has stated excess comma, although I think that the man obviously hasn't consulted Joslen! I'm not really sure than this is necessary.--

Hopefully, I I'll be able to address the remainder of your comments later today. Regarding Heyman, I was unsure if this should be added or not since he is pretty much the only one who makes such a claim. I think I initially added it as a note before working it into the text. It was partially a bit of a leftover from the initial update to the 1st Division and the 1st Armoured Division articles, as there was a lot of confusion on when both were founded (which has now been ironed out). With that said, I can remove this (just wanted to provide a little context first).
