British/Commonwealth Tank Brigade

Standard Armoured Brigade, January 1945

During 1944 the only basic change in the organization of a Tank Brigade was the allotment in March of 8 O.P. tanks to the Brigade HQ Squadron; and 2 O.P. tanks were deleted from the HQ of a Tank Battalion. On 18 January 1945 the decisions of the Standardization Conference were approved by which Tank Brigades were to be redesignated Armoured Brigades. Tank Battalions became Armoured Regiments, and this Standard Armoured Regiment was equipped with either cruiser or infantry tanks.
