The Prussian Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Hello gentlemen! Where can I find a book or a list about the organization, battle order,structures, numbers and names of the R.T.C. and all their tanks, please?
Tony Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 I never knew there was the RTC, I thought they went from Tank Corps to Royal Armoured Corps to Royal Tank Regiment, I'm always learning something new. This is not a book but a site that may have some info if you haven't been there already http://www.forces-war-records.co.uk/360/Royal_Tank_Regiment http://www.forces-war-records.co.uk/4478/Royal_ Tony
The Prussian Posted July 6, 2012 Author Posted July 6, 2012 Hello Tony! Thank you for your help. I didn´t know the site, but unfortunately I only have found informations about the 2nd WW. I must say, that I´ve forgot to say, that I´m looking for infos about the WWI
Tony Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Oh ok, try this link http://www.naval-military-press.com/tank-corps.html It appears they have a sale until 31st July although postage may be expensive. Tony
The Prussian Posted July 6, 2012 Author Posted July 6, 2012 Hello Tony! Thanx for the link. But I do have that book as a pdf data (the 1919 edition). The book´s full of informations about the tank battles and the history of the RTC. Unfortunately no infos about the numbers, th names and th different battle ordres during the war. I asked the Imperial War Museum, but they too couldn´t help me
