Armoured Divisions and Brigades
The 1st Armoured Division was formed in 1941. Following the outbreak of hostilities with Japan a further two armoured divisions and two independent armoured brigades were formed:
- 2nd Armoured Division
- 3rd Armoured Division
- 3rd Army Tank Brigade
- 4th Armoured Brigade Group
Following the disbandment of the 1st Armoured Division in September 1943 the Division's 1st Armoured Brigade survived as an independent brigade group until it was also disbanded in September 1944.
