"British Royal Tank Regiment (RTR) Red and green tank regiment lanyard.

In 1959, the 7th RTR was amalgamated with 4th RTR. The regiment lives on as G Squadron, 1st Royal Tank Regiment (1RTR).

In December 1940, as part of the British Western Desert Force in Egypt, the 7th RTR contained Matilda infantry tanks and supported the 11th Indian Infantry Brigade of the 4th Indian Infantry Division. The regiment attacked and destroyed the Italian "Maletti Group" at the Nibeiwa Camp. The 7th RTR also supported the attack of the 11th Brigade on Italian positions at the Tummar camps. These attacks were accomplished during the opening stages of Operation Compass. The regiment also participated in the successful attacks on Italian-held Bardia during the same campaign."

In mid-1942, the 7th RTR was captured at Tobruk during the Battle of Gazala. Tobruk was surrendered to Italian forces on 21 June 1942.
