History
The 7th Support Group (or "pivot group") provided whatever support the division's armoured brigades needed for the operation in hand. It was able to provide motorised infantry, field artillery, anti-tank artillery or light anti-aircraft artillery as needed.
After the 8th Army was re-organised in preparation for El Alamein, the support group ceased to be and became either a motor brigade or lorried infantry brigade to support the armour in greater strength.

“History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we make today.”
