10th Armoured Division (United Kingdom)
The 10th Armoured Division was an armoured division of the British Army, raised during World War II and was active from 1941–44 and after the war from 1956–57. It was formed from the 1st Cavalry Division, a 1st Line Yeomanry unit of the Territorial Army which had previously been serving in Palestine. The division was converted from cavalry to armour and redesignated from 1 August 1941.
==History==
The divisional sign was a fox's mask, representing the hunting tradition of the formation's cavalry and Yeomanry units. The division was originally under command of HQ British Troops Palestine and Transjordan, but transferred to Ninth Army when the headquarters was redesignated on 1 November 1941.〔, accessed October 2011〕 It was later transferred into Egypt, serving under HQ Middle East, XXX Corps, British Eighth Army, and X Corps. The division fought at the Battles of Alam Halfa and El Alamein. It was disbanded on 15 June 1944 in Egypt.
10th Armoured Division was also briefly active after the war ended in Libya in the 1950s, incorporating 25th Armoured Brigade, but was disbanded in July 1957.〔(Hansard ), March 1958〕 The 25th Armoured Brigade was formed in 1952 to provide an operational headquarters for the troops in Libya. The Royal Scots Greys arrived in Libya in 1952, and stayed until 1955. Other units of the brigade from 1952 were the 4th/7th Royal Dragoon Guards, 1st Battalion, Grenadier Guards, 1st Battalion, East Surrey Regiment, and the 14th/20th King's Hussars.〔Orbat.com, (Order of Battle, British Army, 1952 )〕 In May and June 1956 the brigade was hastily expanded to division status as 10th Armoured Division, with the intention of invading Egypt from the west during the Suez Canal Crisis.〔See "Britain, Libya and the Suez Crisis", Journal of Strategic Studies, April 2007.〕 Planning was halted when it was found that such an invasion was banned under the terms of Britain's treaty with Libya. The Armoured Brigade Signals Squadron was expanded to 10th Armd Div Signals in May–June 1956, based in Tripoli. It began to wind up in April 1957, and disbanded completely in September 1957.〔Cliff Lord, Graham Watson, The Royal Corps of Signals, 2004, p. 47〕
