The 111th Regiment Royal Armoured Corps (Manchester Regiment) (111 RAC) was an armoured regiment of the British Army, raised by the Royal Armoured Corps during the Second World War. ==Origin== 111th Regiment RAC was formed on 1 November 1941 by the conversion to the armoured role of 5th Battalion of the Manchester Regiment, a 1st Line Territorial Army infantry battalion. In common with other infantry units transferred to the Royal Armoured Corps, all personnel would have continued to wear their Manchester cap badge on the black beret of the Royal Armoured Corps.〔Forty pp. 50–1.〕 The 5th Battalion, Manchester Regiment had been serving in 126th Infantry Brigade of 42nd (East Lancashire) Infantry Division, which had fought in France and been evacuated at Dunkirk. The brigade and division were later redesignated 11th Armoured Brigade (later 11th Tank Brigade) and 42nd Armoured Division respectively.〔Joslen, pp. 165, 199, 311.〕 At the time of conversion, 111 RAC was based at Bingley, West Yorkshire.〔111 RAC War Diary, November 1941, The National Archives (TNA), Kew file WO 166/1428.〕 It began receiving its first tanks (Cruiser Mk IVs) in April 1942, but from June it was receiving Churchill infantry tanks, at the same time as 11 Armoured Bde was detached from 42nd Armoured Division and became an independent Army Tank Brigade.〔111 RAC War Diary, April–June 1942, TNA file WO 166/6931.〕〔Joslen, pp. 165, 199.〕
