Brothers in Arms

The Sherwood Rangers, originally a cavalry unit, transitioned to mechanized cavalry during World War II, marking a significant evolution in military strategy. They gained recognition for their pivotal role in the North African campaign and were instrumental during the D-Day landings in Normandy. As they advanced through France, they became the first British troops to enter Germany, playing a crucial role in the events leading to Germany's surrender in May 1945. Their unique history highlights the blend of traditional and modern warfare in a transformative period.
