The Tank Corps

 

Formations

 Higher formations of the Tank Corps in 1918.

 

With the growing number of Brigades and Battalions in France, a higher formation other than the Brigade was required. The Groups started to form in early 1918; the cease-fire on the 11th November prevented them from seeing any action.
