The modern Canadian Armoured Corps was created on 13
August 1940. The Corp was given the honor of the 'Royal' designation by King George VI in 1945.
In early 1941 the 1st Tank Brigade was sent to Britain and equipped with the Matilda tank. Two armoured divisions were created
and it was expected that 1,200 tanks were
needed. Due to wartime difficulties in tank production in England, Canada had to develop its own
production. To this end a tank arsenal was set up under the management of a subsidiary of a US firm engaged in tank production. Much of that work as done at the Canada Car plant just outside
of Montreal. In 1968, during the unification of the Canadian Army into the
Canadian Armed Forces, the name of the Royal Canadian Armour
Corps was changed to simply the "Armour Branch", but, the Corps continued to use its traditional title. "Royal Canadian Armoured Corps". As of April 2013, the
traditional designation of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps has been officially restored. Trudeau &
the liberals hated the "Royal" designation so much that they tried to change it, until they were kicked out by Harper, and then sanity
returned.
