Pictorial History Of Royal Tank Regiment
By George Forty
Published by Guild Publishing: London 1989

" The Royal Tank Regiment (RTR) is the oldest tank unit in the world and a key component of the British Army's Royal Armoured Corps. Formed during World War I in 1917 as part of the Heavy Branch of the Machine Gun Corps, it played a pioneering role in early armored warfare. The regiment was instrumental in deploying the first tanks at the Battle of the Somme in 1916 and later became a distinct branch of the British Army.

During World War II, the RTR participated in major campaigns across North Africa, Europe, and the Pacific, contributing to key battles such as El Alamein. Post-war, it has continued to evolve, operating modern armored vehicles and participating in conflicts like the Korean War, Gulf War, and Afghanistan. Today, it remains an elite armored regiment, primarily equipped with Challenger 2 main battle tanks, and is known for its regimental motto: Fear Naught, reflecting its proud history and combat effectiveness."
