Default Royal Tank Regiment Centenary

This July marks 100 years since the RTR was formed as the Tank Corps.

I am preparing a commemorative issue of The Formation Sign Journal of the Military Heraldry Society, which will look at the insignia and uniform of the regiment over the 100 years. Copies will be offered for sale on the Forum to non-members when published.

A small section will cover the TA RTC Armoured Car Companies of the interwar years. Some time ago a member posted here the attached photo of a Gloucester Hussar wearing the black beret which I would like to use in the publication and if he sees this I would appreciate a PM giving me permission to do so. I would also be interested in any similar photos of other Armoured Car Company soldiers with RTC dress distinctions.

If you have any other nicely detailed photos of RTC/RTR soldiers I would be interested in seeing them as well. PM me for further details.

Jon

Jon, Would pre-War images of 3 CLY in black berets be of interest - most of those that RLC and I found were published in Militaria. Mike

Jon,
PM sent. The best image that we used on the 3 CLY was one noted in the caption to be from the collections of someone named J Mills!
