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:
“It is my PRIDE, my damn’d, native, unconquerable Pride, that plunges me into Distraction. You must know that 19-20th of my Composition is Pride. I must either live a Slave, a Servant; to have no Will of my own, no Sentiments of my own which I may freely declare as such;Mor DIE—perplexing alternative!”
—Thomas Chatterton (1752–1770)
“There is singularly nothing that makes a difference a difference in beginning and in the middle and in ending except that each generation has something different at which they are all looking. By this I mean so simply that anybody knows it that composition is the difference which makes each and all of them then different from other generations and this is what makes everything different otherwise they are all alike and everybody knows it because everybody says it.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Since body and soul are radically different from one another and belong to different worlds, the destruction of the body cannot mean the destruction of the soul, any more than a musical composition can be destroyed when the instrument is destroyed.”
—Oscar Cullman. Immortality of the Soul or Resurrection of the Dead? The Witness of the New Testament, ch. 1, Epworth Press (1958)
