       Fifty Matilda tanks (half of all that existed in England) were sent to North 
  Africa on a fast convoy and secretly unloaded and sent to the front.  They be-
  came the 7th RTR and were attached to the 4th Indian for the start of Operation 
  Compass.  After the 4th Indian was withdrawn in January, they were attached 
  to the 6th Australian and were an invaluable part of the operation.
