The 43rd (Wessex) Reconnaissance Regiment (The Gloucestershire Regiment) (43 Recce) was a regiment of the British Army's Reconnaissance Corps, itself part of the Royal Armoured Corps, during World War II. It fought in North West Europe with the 21st Army Group in 1944–1945. ==Origins== The regiment was formed (as 48th Reconnaissance Battalion) on 14 October 1941 by the redesignation of the 5th Battalion, Gloucestershire Regiment, a Territorial Army infantry battalion that had acted as the divisional recce battalion for 48th (South Midland) Infantry Division since July 1941.〔Joslen p. 77.〕 The following month it was transferred to the 43rd (Wessex) Infantry Division and renumbered accordingly the next January.〔〔Joslen p. 69.〕 On 6 June 1942 all reconnaissance battalions were redesignated regiments, and on 1 January 1944 the Reconnaissance Corps became part of the Royal Armoured Corps. Lieutenant Colonel Francis ('Joe') Lane Fox, of the Royal Horse Guards, took command of 43 Recce on 29 September 1943.〔Field Return of Officers, 43 Recce War Diary Jan-Aug 1944, The National Archives, Kew, file WO 171/491.〕
