The 8 Armoured Brigade was a British Army brigade, formed in August 1941, during the Second World War, and active until 1956. The brigade was formed by the re-designation of 6th Cavalry Brigade when the 1st Cavalry Division based in Palestine (of which it was part) converted from a motorised formation (they had been horse-mounted up to January 1940) to an armoured one.
