    On an italian report dated 10 june 1942 i found that 4th Armd.Brigade Group (1st RTR and 6th RTR) had a fight against a tank bn. of the 15.panzer division at south east of Knightsbridge.

    Someone knows more about uk and german losses?

    Thanks in advance

    You can always "goggle" for the Crusader battle which had the Knightsbridge battle - - no doubt Andreas will be along shortly to give you verse and chapter as he is writing a book on that battle
    and the following battle at Gazala in May - June '42 - you night find it was 3rd and 5th RTR involved at that battle before heeding for El Alamein

    Cheers

    Hi Tom,

    thanks so much for your note. I hope that Andreas will help me.....
    Liddle Hart - The Tanks page 176 wrote that 4th Armd Bde Gr attached with 1st RTR and 6 RTR only.

    Cheers

    I am actually looking into CRUSADER, not the Gazala battles. I may have some information in documents which I haven't reviewed yet.

    In the meantime, you can find the 6 RTR war diary here:

    All the best
