It saw extensive service during World War II , was disbanded afterward, was reconstituted in 1976, and remains in service today. It should not be confused with 1st Infantry Division (United Kingdom) which saw service in World War II as a separate formation. In 1993 HQ 1st Armoured Division was disbanded and the 1st (UK) Armoured Division formed from the 4th Armoured Division. The Division headquarters again deployed to the Gulf area in 2003. It again commanded British forces in the area, this time with three full brigades under its control. Those were 7th Armoured Brigade again, along with 16th Air Assault Brigade, and 3rd Commando Brigade. In a combined arms operation the division secured southern Iraq, including the city of Basra during the invasion. It came under I Marine Expeditionary Force during the 2003 conflict. The 1st (UK) Armoured Division is currently the only British division to be stationed in Germany. The headquarters is stationed in Herford . The Division currently reports to Commander Field Army within Headquarters Land Command at Wilton. The divisional badge dates from 1983, and combines the hollow red triangular "spearhead" badge of 1st Infantry Division with the charging rhinoceros badge of 1st Armoured Division as displayed in World War II. The following brigades make up the 1 (United Kingdom) Armoured Division. 4th Mechanized Brigade (formerly an Armoured Brigade) 7th Armoured Brigade 20th Armoured Brigade 102nd Logistics Brigade 4th (Czech) Rapid Deployment Brigade Divisional Units: 1 Regiment, Army Air Corps (Lynx) 12 Regiment, Royal Artillery (Air Defence) 9th/12th Royal Lancers (Formation Reconnaissance) 1 Logistic Support Regiment, Royal Logistic Corps 2 Logistic Support Regiment, Royal Logistic Corps 1 Regiment, Royal Military Police 1 Armoured Division Signal Regiment thanks Wiki DO NOT MISS OUT. combine ANY amount of patches,badges ,epaulettes or insignia for ONE post charge Postage - please check for country- or email me for details For insignia unless otherwise listed this item has FREE shipping to the UK,RECORDED to EUROPE-AIRMAIL to the USA & CANADA-AIRMAIL to AUSTRALIA & The Far EAST AIRMAIL Express , insured or courrier on request.if this item goes for a higher price insured is recommended but up to you.
