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.
