I've just been working through an update to this section of the website in light of some new information I cam across in the last few months. It seems that the British Army formed Motor Machine Gun Brigades in Summer 1940. These were formed from under-equipped armoured units and provided a rapid reaction force to the invasion threat. They were disbanded by the winter but seems an interesting formation. It is accessible through the British Service page of the site.

After a period of nothingness, I have just written a small page on the Raiding Support Regiment and have updated some of the text on the British Service pages.

I'm getting the bug again so will update some more over the next few days I'm sure!
