The British XVIII Corps was a British infantry corps during World War I. It was reactivated, briefly, in Cyprus during World War II as part of a military deception.
British XVIII Corps was formed in France in January 1917 under Lieutenant General Sir Ivor Maxse. It pursued the German forces to the Hindenberg Line and was then merged into VIII Corps in July 1918.
In 1941, during World War 2, the XVII Corps was briefly reactivated as a fictional unit, as part of the Cyprus Defence Plan deception. However, it was later renamed XXV Corps.
