Thanks for showing us that Peter.
So actually it's real name is "22nd Infantry Brigade" as that what it was called in February 41.
As you say all other "names" are just redesignations .

As the original unit was captured and a new one formed surely that has to be called 201st as the original one didn't exist anymore.

Same as the "new" 51st Highland Div was created out of 9th Highland Div.
Nobody refers to that by it's original title.

I've only ever seen the Bde called 201st in anything I've seen, including my shorter Grenadier Guards History.
As to your other point, why would a soldier in 6th Gren Gds refer to it as 22 Gds Bde when to him it was only ever 201st, he wouldn't have know it by it's original title?


I suppose it's not that important in the grand scheme of things but nice to chat about .
