At the outbreak of war, this formation was known as the Heavy Armoured Brigade, and was stationed in Egypt. It commenced under command of the Armoured Division (Egypt), which became the 7th Armoured Division, with the brigade adopting a black Jerboa as its formation sign, hence becoming known as the ‘Black Rats’. As an independent brigade, it served in Tunisia, Sicily and in Italy, before returning to the United Kingdom in January 1944. Brigadier (Temporary) John Cecil CURRIE, D.S.O.**, M.C., a highly decorated Regular Army officer in the Royal Horse Artillery, had assumed command of the brigade on 16 March 1944 (having commanded it on a previous occasion) and took it to France. The brigade landed in Normandy on 7 June 1944, under the command of I Corps. It came under the command of VIII Corps for the battle of The Oden between 25 June and 2 July and the battle for Caen between 4 and 18 July 1944.

  • TWICE a CITIZEN Celebrating a Century of Service by the Territorial Army in London
    TWICE A CITIZEN Celebrating a century of service by the Territorial Army in London www.TA100.co.uk The Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association for Greater London Twice a Citizen “Every Territorial is twice a citizen, once when he does his ordinary job and the second time when he dons his uniform and plays his part in defence.” This booklet has been produced as a souvenir of the celebrations for the Centenary of the Territorial Field Marshal William Joseph Slim, Army in London. It should be remembered that at the time of the formation of the Rifle Volunteers 1st Viscount Slim, KG, GCB, GCMG, GCVO, GBE, DSO, MC in 1859, there was no County of London, only the City. Surrey and Kent extended to the south bank of the Thames, Middlesex lay on the north bank and Essex bordered the City on the east. Consequently, units raised in what later became the County of London bore their old county names. Readers will learn that Londoners have much to be proud of in their long history of volunteer service to the nation in its hours of need. From the Boer War in South Africa and two World Wars to the various conflicts in more recent times in The Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, London Volunteers and Territorials have stood together and fought alongside their Regular comrades. Some have won Britain’s highest award for valour - the Victoria Cross - and countless others have won gallantry awards and many have made the ultimate sacrifice in serving their country. This booklet may be recognised as a tribute to all London Territorials who have served in the past, to those who are currently serving and to those who will no doubt serve in the years to come.
