The RAC Memorial Trust (RAC MT) was formed originally as the Royal Armoured Corps War Memorial Benevolent Fund, in 1946 following the end of the Second World War, by veterans of that conflict. It was established for three purposes: To maintain the military efficiency and esprit de corps of the Royal Armoured CorpsTo help care for those that had survived and their families, when in time of need. To honour the memory of all members of the Royal Armoured Corps who have died in the service of their country. So important was the contribution of the Royal Armoured Corps in securing final victory in World War II that both Sir Winston Churchill and Field Marshall Viscount Montgomery of Alamein, two of its first patrons, were willing to put their names to a letter endorsing the creation of this Benevolent Fund.Currently, the Trust is honoured to enjoy the support of HRH The Duke of Kent as its patron. The Duke himself served with the Royal Scots Greys for over 20 years.
