Description
This British Army armoured regiment was formed in 1917. Since then, it has served in many campaigns around the world as part of the Royal Armoured Corps. This regiment was formed during the First World War (1914-18). Its origins lie in the tank companies of the Heavy Branch of the Machine Gun Corps. Tanks were first used at Flers-Courcelette in September 1916 during the Battle of the Somme. By November 1916, the Heavy Branch's companies had risen in number to eight. Each was then expanded into a battalion and given a letter from A to H. On 28 July 1917, these eight battalions were officially split off from the Machine Gun Corps to form the Tank Corps, with their letters switching to numbers. The new unit’s first commander was Brigadier-General Hugh Elles, who had already commanded the Heavy Branch for a year. By the end of the conflict, four officers in or attached to the Tank Corps had been awarded the Victoria Cross.
