Composition
Because speed was of the essence and because the available British tanks needed more time for replenishment, Combe Force was to consist of formations which utlilized wheeled vehicles. The composition of Combe Force was as follows:
- 11th Hussars
- 2nd Rifle Brigade - From the 7th Support Group
- C Battery 4th Royal Horse Artillery (RHA) with 25-pounder guns - From the 7th Support Group
- 106th (Lancashire Hussars) Regiment RHA with nine 37mm Bofors anti-tank guns portee mounted on trucks

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“At painful times, when composition is impossible and reading is not enough, grammars and dictionaries are excellent for distraction.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
“The naive notion that a mother naturally acquires the complex skills of childrearing simply because she has given birth now seems as absurd to me as enrolling in a nine-month class in composition and imagining that at the end of the course you are now prepared to begin writing War and Peace.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“Give a scientist a problem and he will probably provide a solution; historians and sociologists, by contrast, can offer only opinions. Ask a dozen chemists the composition of an organic compound such as methane, and within a short time all twelve will have come up with the same solution of CH4. Ask, however, a dozen economists or sociologists to provide policies to reduce unemployment or the level of crime and twelve widely differing opinions are likely to be offered.”
—Derek Gjertsen, British scientist, author. Science and Philosophy: Past and Present, ch. 3, Penguin (1989)
