Details

The 13th/18th Hussars and Staffordshire Yeomanry were equipped with DD Sherman tanks, and the East Riding Yeomanry with deep wading Sherman tanks, for the invasion of Normandy on 6th June 1944. The brigade then took part in the battle for Caen between 4th and 18th July 1944. On 30th July 1944, the brigade was disbanded due to high casualties sustained by British formations in Normandy, and the lack of replacements.
