The British Army made extensive use of a variety of combat vehicles during the Second World War.
These were a series of similar small tanks produced by Britain in the years between the First and Second World Wars mainly for use in Imperial duties.
They saw use in training, and in limited engagements with British Imperial units in colonial policing actions before the war.
Although some were used in France and North Africa at the start of the war, they were removed as not fit for service in armoured divisions.
They were self-propelled guns, usually based on a tank chassis, which were normally used for long-range indirect bombardment support on the battlefield.
In contrast to American doctrine, mobile anti-tank weapons were also considered self-propelled guns and were similarly operated by the Royal Artillery.
Armoured personnel carriers were armoured fighting vehicles developed to transport infantry Light and medium scout and reconnaissance vehicles were used by most British Army units, especially battalions of the Reconnaissance Corps and cavalry units.
