World War 2 Two II WW2 WWII 1939 1945

Royal Armoured Corps




   During WW2 the 10th Hussars served with the 1st Armoured Division. At the outbreak of war, the division was deployed to France and fought in northern France and Belgium. After the fall of France they returned to England in June 1940, leaving their vehicles behind. After a period of regrouping in Britain, re-equipped with Crusader tanks, the regiment deployed to North Africa with 2nd Armoured Brigade, 7th Armoured Division, in November 1941. They saw action in Operation Crusader, the Battle of Alam Halfa and the Second Battle of El Alamein. In 1944 they moved to Italy and fought as an armoured unit and as dismounted infantry.

   1st Royal Dragoons were mechanized as an armoured car regiment in 1940 and joined the Royal Armoured Corps in 1941. They saw action in North Africa, Syria, Italy and North Western Europe.

   The 11th Hussars (Prince Albert's Own) was a cavalry regiment of the British Army and can be traced back to 1715. In 1940, the 11th was based in Egypt and became part of the 7th Armoured Division (The Desert Rats) equipped with armoured cars during the Western Desert Campaign. In September 1940, when the Italians invaded Egypt the 11th Hussars were part of the British covering force and they took part in the counterattack, Operation Compass against the Italian forces in Egypt and Libya. They returned to Britain in January 1944, docking at Glasgow and moved to Ashridge Park near Berkhamstead, to begin training for the Normandy Campaign.

The 11th Hussars boarded the MT Bradford City at Millwall Docks on the 5th of June 1944. They landed on the 9th of June near the small village of Conseulles, Normandy. After fierce fighting in Normandy they advanced to the Seine, on to the Somme and crossed into Belgium by September, they fought their way towards Berlin, being near the Kiel Canal on VE Day and entering the German capital in July 1945.

   4th/7th Dragoon Guards converted to tanks in 1938, they were the first British armoured unit to arrive in France with the British Expeditionary Force, partially equipped with Mark IV light tanks and Bren gun carriers. After seeing action in Belgium, they were evacuated via Dunkirk and joined 1st Armoured Reconnaissance Brigade, 9th Armoured Division. In 1943 they transferred to 79th Armoured Division. They landed in Normandy as part of 8th Armoured Brigade, on D-Day and saw action across North Western Europe.

   8th (King's Royal Irish) Hussars were at Mersa Matruh when war broke out in September 1939, having been in Egypt since December 1933.

   The Queen's Bays (2nd Dragoon Guards) were mechanized in 1938, and served as part of the Royal Armoured Corps throughout the Second World War.

   13th/18th Royal Hussars served with the Royal Armoured Corps as a reconnaissance unit with 1st Armoured Reconnaissance Brigade, 1st Division in France until June 1940. After returning to the UK the regiment joined 27th Armoured Brigade then on January 1944 transferred 8th Armoured Brigade and went on to see action across North Western Europe.

    The free section of the Wartime Memories Project website is run by volunteers. We have been helping people find out more about their relatives wartime experiences since 1999 by recording and preserving recollections, documents, photographs and small items.

    The website is paid for out of our own pockets, library subscriptions and from donations made by visitors. The popularity of the site means that it is far exceeding available resources and we currently have a huge backlog of submissions.

    If you are enjoying the site, please consider making a donation, however small to help with the costs of keeping the site running.
