7th Support Group (United Kingdom)


The 7th Support Group was a brigade size formation within the British 7th Armoured Division, active during World War II.

History

The 7th Support Group provided support for the armoured brigades. It comprised motorised infantry, field artillery, anti-tank guns and light anti-aircraft guns. After the 8th Army was re-organised in preparation for El Alamein, the support group concept was abolished and they were replaced by either a motor brigade or lorried infantry brigade large enough to support the armoured elements.
