Notes:

1. Brigade created 1/12/1941.

2. NIH receive churchills in February 1942.

3. Arm of service colours unknown. Possibly green, P. Gudgin's comments in "With Churchills to War", albeit for 21 Tank Brigade, gives brown with white bar underneath. There is a photo from this period showing NIH churchill being entrained spporting what appears to be a two colour split flash (no bar).

UK, 8th June 1942 - 2nd Sept 1942

1st Mixed Division

Notes:

1. These marking may although theoretically correct may have never been applied to the vehicles of the North Irish Horse as it was known that it would soon be leaving the Brigade and from July 42 onwards control by the Brigade had effectively ceased.

UK, 3rd September 1942 - 10th September 1943

43rd Mixed Division

Notes:

1. Photo on Pg.49 of Mr Churchill's Tank (wrongly accredited) - should be 151 RAC

UK, 10th September 1943 - 30th December 1943

Notes:

1. 30th December 1943 151 RAC amalgamates with 107 RAC and becomes 107 RAC (the more senior regt.)

2. Arm of service background - green with white bar ?

UK & NWE, 31st December 1943 - 2nd February 45

Notes:

1. 107 RAC '157' serial is out of precedance order as senior Regt. they should theroetically have taken the 156 serial. What I assume has happend here is that following amalgamation with 151 RAC, 107 RAC keeps 151 RAC's original serial.

2. 153 RAC disbanded 24th August 1944. C squadron 107 RAC formed from men from the disbanded 153RAC - source :"Tank Twins"

3. 7 RTR joins Brigade 17/10/44, Tank Tracks says 19/8/44, Detached 1/10/44 to Siege of Dunkirk - stays 4 months. Hodges & Taylor gives serial 158 replacing 153 RAC.

4. 9 RTR Joins Brigade 4/9/44. Jean Bouchery (The British Soldier, Part 2) - gives serial 158 - replacing 153 RAC

NWE, 2nd February 1945-

Notes:

1. On conversion to an Armoured Brigade (and consequent change of Arm of Service) the serials now reflect the regiment's seniority.
