The 11th Armoured Division, known as The Black Bull, was a British Army division formed in 1941 during World War II. The Division was formed as a response to the unanticipated success of German panzer divisions in prior years. It was responsible for several major victories in Normandy after D-Day, and it participated in the Rhine crossings and the rapid advance across France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The Division was dissolved in January 1946 and reformed towards the end of 1950.
