4th Canadian Armoured Brigade
- 4th Canadian Armoured Brigade
As of 1942 the 4th Canadian Armoured Brigade comprised four units:
* 21st Armoured Regiment (The Governor General's Foot Guards)
* 22nd Armoured Regiment (The Canadian Grenadier Guards)
* 28th Armoured Regiment (The British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connaught's Own))
* The Lake Superior Regiment
Arriving in Normandy in July 1944, the brigade saw service in the battles that took the Canadians from Caen to Falaise. Unlike their peers in the 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade, the 4th almost always fought in support of its affiliated 10th Canadian Infantry Brigade.
Following the Normandy campaign the brigade saw service in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany before being disbanded in the Netherlands in 1946.
