That is not strictly true as in '42 it became 200th Guards Brigade and then renumbered as 201st Guards Motorised Brigade.
22nd Guards Brigade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 6th Gren Gds only ever fought as part of 201 Gds Bde never in 22 Gds Bde.
6GG joined 201 Gds Bde in Syria in Oct '42.

A minor point I know but are we bovvered?
Hi Owen

You may very well be right, but I am a tad puzzled as to why you have initially addressed the query as if it was for me to make a decision.

Am I my "Peter's" keeper ?

For the benefit of others, Peter, quite apart from being a notable contributor to this site, is a valued and long standing friend and more than capable of defending his own wicket.

I shall forthwith bring this matter to his attention

Cheers

Ron
