This is an order of battle of the
British 4th Armoured Brigade during the
Second World War. Many units either served with or were briefly attached to the brigade.[1] The order of battle is given for a number of battles the brigade fought in and reflect the
changes to the composition of Armoured Brigades as dictated by the War Office, not all of which were, or could be, applied to units in the field.[2]
^4th/8th Hussars was a temporary unit formed in July 1942 by the amalgamation of the
4th and
8th Hussars due to losses in action. The regiments resumed their individual identities in November 1942.[3]
^Between 9–24 March this unit was equipped with
specialist armour and trained by
79th Armoured Division in its use. The unit reverted to a normal armoured regiment.
