When the 2nd Division moved westwards towards Brest in mid-August, the battalion was attached to the 4th Cavalry Group, with which it would serve for the remainder of the war.
Moving eastwards, it crossed the Seine north of Paris in late August with VII Corps, then over the Meuse, entering Germany on 13 September.
In December, it moved north into the Ardennes during the Battle of the Bulge, and was the first unit to receive the M24 Chaffee tank.
Major Loyal Fairall, who commanded the battalion in August/September 1944, wrote of the limitations of the Stuart light tank: ...(it) is apparent that a Light Tank Battalion, armed with only 37mm guns, unless very skillfully employed with Infantry, will suffer severe casualties in men and material.
The Light Tank still has to depend on speed, maneuver, and selection of suitable targets if it is to be of very much use.
