THE ROYAL TANK REGIMENT
The ROYAL TANK REGIMENT is the very proud descendant of the TANK CORPS & former HBMGC. The famous BROWN, RED & GREEN flag still flies proudly above the Regiments tanks, vehicles and barracks today, wherever they may be.
Only last year, HM QUEEN ELIZABETH II, presented the Regiment with it's new COLOURS at BUCKINGHAM PALACE as shown in the photograph above left.

LEST WE FORGET
Apart from the Great War Tank Crewmen commemorated on the Tank Memorial Ypres Salient. We also wish to commemorate & remember the Royal Tank Regiment soldiers who have been killed in action or died on ops since WW2 and are still falling on the fields of battle today. *To include all other WW1 and WW2 tank crewmen by name likewise is simply not possible on this small web site due to numbers, so we salute them accordingly.

The Tank Memorial now has 2 dedicated pipers! The first and long standing piper is Pipe Major Eric Remy of the Ypres Surrey Pipes & Drums. He is also the Official Piper for the Last Post Association.
Eric offered the wonderful lament at the Tank Memorial Inauguration Ceremony and also during the follow up annual tank ceremonies. Eric will now be assisted by fellow piper Mr Pierre Dervaux. We are indeed privilaged to have such talent included amongst the Tank Memorial team.
