The 2nd Armoured Brigade was an armoured brigade of the British Army, part of the pre-war Regular Army, during the Second World War, prior to 14 April 1940 titled 2nd Light Armoured Brigade.[1]
The 2nd Armoured Brigade was part of the 1st Armoured Division when it was sent as part of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) to France in 1940. It was evacuated from Brest without its heavy equipment.[2]
After being reformed it was sent in November 1941 to North Africa, where it served with the 1st and the 7th Armoured Divisions. It fought at Gazala, El Alamein, the Tunisia Campaign and the Italian Campaign.
