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.
In September 1940 when Italy declared war on Britain and France, the 11th Hussars were in Egypt with the 7th Armoured Division (known as the Desert Rats). Equipped with obsolete Rolls-Royce and Morris armoured cars, the regiment were engaged in raids against Italian positions in the Western Desert Campaign. They captured Fort Capuzzo and captured General Lastucci, the Engineer-in-Chief of the Italian Tenth Army in an ambush east of Bardia.
The 11th Hussars took part in Operation Compass that was launched against the Italian forces in Egypt and Libya. They joined the ad hoc combat unit named Combe Force (lead by Lieutenant-Colonel John Combe) which cut off the retreating Tenth Army near Beda Fomm, unable to break through the defensive positions the Italians surrendered en-masse as the 6th Australian Division closed in on them from their rear.
When war broke out in 1939 the 4th Hussars were stationed at Tidworth, Hampshire with the 1st Light Armoured Brigade, 1st Armoured Division. They went to France with the BEF and were evacuated at Dunkirk. After being re-equipped and re-trained in Briatin, the 4th Hussars deployed in January 1941 to the Middle East with the 1st Armoured Brigade. In March 1941 they moved to Greece to support of 6th Australian Infantry Division. At the Corinth Canal Bridge the 4th Hussars fought a rearguard action to allow the allied forces to retreat to the Peloponnese Peninsula. During this action all the senior officers and over 400 men of the 4th Hussars were taken prisoner.
The regiment was re-constituted in June 1941 at Cairo and in April 1942 they received Grant and Stuart tanks before they re-joined 1st Armoured Brigade. B Squadron was detailed to the London Yeomanry, but during the Gazala battles on the 12th June, it was ambushed and almost the whole squadron was lost. The 4th Hussars, along with the rest of 8th Army was withdrawn to El Alamein, where they were temporary amalgamated with one Squadron from 8th Hussars to become the 4th/8th Hussars. They saw action at Alam Haifa and during the battle of El Alamein, the combined regiment crossed the German minefields and captured the strategically important Halfaya Pass. In November 1942 the 4th/8th Hussars disolved and 4th Hussars moved to Cyprus for a rest and further training.
