The double T insignia displayed by the 50th Northumbrian represent the two rivers that define the boundaries of their recruitment area, the Tyne and Tees. The 50th Northumbrian Motorized Division was involved in just about every major battle in Europe during WW II. In June of 1940 it was re-organized into an Infantry Division. In 1941 the Division was sent to the Middle East to become part of the British 8th Army. It was assigned to the southern area during the second battle of El Alamein that lasted from 23 October to 5 November 1942. This offensive stalled the Axis advance and cost them heavy losses. After El Alamein the 50th was transferred north to take part in Operation Supercharge designed to destroy even more of the faltering Axis army.
