	Australian 2nd Armoured Division - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Australian 2nd Armoured Division was established on 21 February 1942 by redesignating and reorganising the 2nd Motor Division (which was previously the 2nd Cavalry Division).
		As an armoured division the division was equipped with M3 Grant medium tanks and M3 Stuart light tanks.
		The 2nd Armoured Division was disbanded in Queensland on 19 February 1943, though the headquarters of its 6th Armoured Brigade was retained and redesignated headquarters 4th Armoured Brigade.

		In 4 days the Australian 2nd Division lost 1,268 men and had to be replaced by the Australian 4th Division which continued the attacks on Mouquet Farm on August 27 and 29 1916 but failed to take the position from the German defenders.
		The Australian 1st, 2nd and 4th Divisions had been used by their commanders as a battering ram and lost nearly 23,000 officers and men in a mere 6 weeks on a front that extended little more than a mile.
		It was captured by soldiers of the Australian 1st Division's 2nd Battalion on 23 July, 1916.

		The three Australian divisions of I Anzac, which had been acclimatising on the quiet sector near ArmentiÃ¨res, had been dispatched to the Somme as reinforcements and so the 5th Division took their place at ArmentiÃ¨res on July 12.
		The result of this move was that the 5th Division, the most inexperienced of the Australian divisions in France, would be the first to see major action in the Battle of Fromelles, a week after going in to the trenches.
		The 5th Division was relieved by the 2nd Division and, when on October 5 the Australian Corps handed over its line to the U.S. II Corps, the division was withdrawn to the coast for a rest that would last until the end of the war.

		Soldiers came from the full range of social, religious and economic backgrounds represented in the wider Australian population, but the original intention that half the force be drawn from men with militia training and half without does not appear to have been realised even in the early contingents.
		It was divided, and for the rest of the war the Australians would fight in two widely separated theatres: France and the Middle East.
		Beginning with the diversionary attack at Fromelles by the 5th Division in which they suffered 5,533 casualties in a single twenty-four hour period, the Australians were fed in to successive attacks in which enormous casualties were sustained for minimal gains in ground.

		Previously the '2nd Ranger Battalion' and then 'The Long Range Paratroop Battalion', then finally the '82nd Airborne Division' the last chapter of this clan was and is known as "The 2nd Airborne Anzacs".
		Like other REAL Airborne divisions, the 2nd only tolerates the best soldiers, and the best behaviours and attitudes towards the game and other players of the game, when recruiting we will only accept mature members willing to commit time and effort towards the squad and its members, and of course the fun of virtual battle.
		Members of the 2nd Anzacs squad pay tribute to those of the Australian and New Zealand Divisions, and any other division that fell gloriously on the battlefield and in the air during WWII, and those that witnessed the horrors of the war.

		He was appointed artillery commander of 4th Division (with a promotion to Colonel and temporary Brigadier-General) and served during the Battle of the Somme, during the course of which he received a further wound, partly on account of his tendency to pay repeated visits to the front lines.
		May 1918 brought Rosenthal notable promotion to Major-General with command of 2nd Division (having served as temporary commander of 1st Division for a month in January/February 1918), during the course of which he was wounded once again, temporarily leading his division from a hospital bed until Australian commander Sir John Monash intervened.
		He led 2nd Division from 1921-26 and again from 1932-37, although he also concerned himself with rebuilding his architectural practice.

		Indeed, the Australian Labour party has claimed that there is a complete "vacuum" within the top position of the defence department, an allegation that the Minister of Defence Jon Moore has denied.
