    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_

    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

    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
