4 Cdn Armed Bde at Lyndford Hall, Mundford and 4 Cdn Armed Div, at Cockley Cley, Swaffham
Can someone point me to somewhere I can find out which specific groups/regiments made up these two at that specific time? I'm having a hard time following all of the changes and amalgamations.
Thanks,

Jean Bouchery's book, The Canadian Soldier, from Dday to VE Day is the reference point in answering your question.
4th Canadian Armoured Brigade was comprised of The Governor General's Foot Guards,
The Canadian Grenadier Guards, The British Colombia Regiment, and the Lake Superior Regiment. The 4th Brigade was but one part of the 4th Canadian Armoured Division.
Hope this answers your query
