A line of tanks and carriers of an Australian Cavalry Regiment during British Empire. The 2nd Cavalry Regiment (2 CAV) is an armoured cavalry regiment of the Australian Army. The second most senior regiment in the Royal Australian Armoured Corps, the regiment was part of the 1st Brigade based in Darwin in the Northern Territory. In late 2014 the regiment was transferred to the 3rd Brigade, and is now based in Townsville in Queensland. It will be equipped with M1A1 tanks, ASLAV light armoured vehicles, and M113 armoured personnel carriers. The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom. It originated with the overseas possessions and trading posts established by England between the late 16th and early 18th centuries. At its height, it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power.[1] By 1922 the British Empire held sway over about 458 million people, one-fifth of the world's population at the time,[2] and covered more than 13,000,000 sq mi (33,670,000 km2), almost a quarter of the Earth's total land area.[3][4] As a result, its political, legal, linguistic and cultural legacy is widespread. At the peak of its power, the phrase "the empire on which the sun never sets" was often used to describe the British Empire, because its expanse around the globe meant that the sun was always shining on at least one of its territories. man,soldier,people,British,empire,sand,ground,1941,
