The Cromwell comes from a long line of tanks. It was designed as a Cruiser tank to be
used for reconnaissance and other such tasks. With the Christie suspension it was able
to attain speeds of 52 km/h and proved quite agile. The Cromwell became a fighting
machine when the later versions were given heavier armor. In the latter part of WWII the
Cromwell was the most produced British tank but its numbers and actions were always
lost in the shadows of the Sherman’s and Churchill’s. The Cromwell became the basis
for what arguably was the best British tank of WWII, the Comet.
The 22nd Armoured Brigade was formed September 3, 1939. The Brigade was under the
command of various divisions but mainly with the famed 7th Armoured Division. They
fought in the deserts of North Africa, Italy and North West Europe. During the final
months of 1944 and into January 1945 the Division took part in driving the Germans from
the area around the River Maas. One of the largest actions was Operation Blackcock
that lasted 2 weeks in January 1945.
