3 1. This brigade headquarters was formed in France on the 30 th March It comprised two Territorial Army regiments. The Fife and Forfar Yeomanry was based in Kircaldy in Fife. The East Riding Yeomanry was based in Hull. The brigade initially came under command of the B.E.F., but joined I Corps on the 18 th May. A day later it reverted to B.E.F. command, coming under command of MacForce on the 23 rd May and then 48 th Infantry Division on the 25 th May. It was evacuated from Dunkirk on the 31 st May On the 26 th November 1940, it was redesignated as the 27 th Armoured Brigade, later serving in North West Europe as an independent armoured brigade. It was disbanded on the 30 th July This brigade was also formed in France on the 30 th March Both of the brigade s constituent regiments were Regular Army units. The brigade came under command of II Corps. Its regiments operated as divisional reconnaissance units for II Corps formations (the 3 rd Infantry Division and 4 th Infantry Division) until the 16 th May 1940, when the brigade took control on the units. Both regiments suffered heavy losses on the 18 th May 1940, and formed a composite regiment for the rest of the campaign. The brigade was evacuated from Dunkirk on the 1 st June On its return to the U.K., on the 23 rd June 1940 it was redesignated as the 3 rd Motor Machine Gun Brigade, such was the shortage in tanks in the British Army at the time. 3. A Regular Army brigade, this formation arrived in France on the 30 th April 1940 with only two of its three regiments under command. It had been formed in the U.K. in 1939, but was woefully short of tanks. Only the 4 th R.T.R. and 7 th R.T.R. were equipped so the 8 th R.T.R. remained in the U.K. The brigade was placed under command of the B.E.F., being used in the Arras counter attack. The brigade was evacuated from Dunkirk on the 27 th May A Regular Army battalion, this unit was stationed at Gibraltar on the outbreak of war. It moved to France where it formed the garrison at Arras. Page 3
