BATTLES WITH PANZERS
by Patrick Delaforce

Britain's Royal Tank Regiment has seen the stalemate of trench warfare, the restoration of battlefield mobility and the establishment of armoured and mechanized forces as a dominant factor in battle. During WWI, 1 RTR won two Victoria Crosses and were victors in the first ever tank versus tank engagement, and 2 RTR fought in all the key Western Front battles from Messines to Cambrai. In WWII 1 RTR saw action in the North African desert, in Italy and in Northwest Europe, whilst 2 RTR fought in France, North Africa and Burma, and later in the 1944-45 Italian campaign, ending the war in Austria.
