In early 1941, G.H.Q. India ordered the raising of a second armoured division in India, to be designated as the 2nd Indian Armoured Division. The two armoured brigades raised to become part of this new division were the 4th and 5th Indian Armoured Brigades. This brigade was raised at the cavalry depot at Risalpur in India with effect from 1 April 1941 as the 4th Indian Armoured Brigade under the command of Brigadier (Acting) William Thomas GILL, M.C.*. GILL was promoted from command of the 3rd Carabiniers then stationed in India, and was a British officer in the Regular Army. The first unit to join the brigade did not do so until August 1941, this being the 46th Cavalry; itself a newly raised regiment.

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.

Date of Death: 24/01/1945 Information: Parents: Rear-Admiral Benjamin Wingate Barrow and Charlotte Constance Barrow, of Claremont, Cape Province, South Africa. Rank: Lieutenant Service Number: 245686 Campaign Medals: War Medal 1939-1945 As with most Armed Forces Serving Personnel during the conflict of World War Two, Richard George Brooke Barrow was entitled to the War Medal 1939-1945. This medal was awarded to all full time service personnel who had completed 28 days service between 3rd September 1939 and the 2nd September 1945. Eligible personnel who had been “Mentioned In Despatches” during the War were entitled to wear a bronze oak leaf emblem on the ribbon. Those eligible for a campaign star, yet who had their service cut short by death, wounds or capture by the enemy, still qualified for this medal. 1939-45 Star Given the information available to us it is likely that Richard George Brooke Barrow was awarded the 1939-45 Star for operational Service in the Second World War between 3rd September 1939, and 2nd September 1945. Richard George Brooke Barrow would have been awarded this star if their service period was terminated by their death or disability due to service. Also the award of a gallantry medal or “Mention In Despatches” also produced the award of this medal, regardless of their service duration.
