 Many of Maczek's men, including the general himself, found their way to Great Britain where a Polish armoured unit was eventually recreated, while others joined the Polish and French resistance organizations in France and Belgium.The 10th Armoured Cavalry Brigade was a small formation, but with an excellent fighting spirit.Most of its soldiers, after reaching Britain, formed part of General Maczek's 1st Armoured Division created in February 1942.
