Churchills and Cromwells were the primary UK tanks of WWII; their most famous tank NEVER fought in WWII, the "Centurion" medium tank. The British Centurion's first battle was during the Korean War (1950-1953); it's second war was in Vietnam, while serving with the 1st Australian Armored Regiment. After Vietnam, the Centurion was sold to other countries where it fought under different flags in various conflicts.

The most popular UK tank during WWII was the US supplied Stuart light tank, nicknamed by the English, "Honeys". The Honey (Stuart) fought in North Africa against the German Africa Corps.
