41st (Oldham) Royal Tank Regiment
- 41st (Oldham) Royal Tank Regiment
The 41st (Oldham) Royal Tank Regiment (41 RTR) was an armoured regiment of the British Army between 1938 and 1942. It was originally formed by converting the 10th Battalion The Manchester Regiment, a Territorial Army infantry battalion, into a tank unit. As part of 24th Armoured Brigade the Regiment took part in the Second Battle of Alamein but then shared the fate of the rest of its brigade, being dispersed to provide reinforcements for other units. In 1947 the Regiment was re-formed and in 1956 it was amalgamated with the 40th (The King's) Royal Tank Regiment to form the 40th/41st Royal Tank Regiment.
