 | Mobilized in September 1940, the 4th Canadian Division contained in its order of battle, the 10th, 11th and 12th Infantry Brigades. |
| An armoured division called for just two brigades (in the case of 4th Armoured Division these would be the 3rd and 4th Canadian Armoured Brigades) and so only six of the original nine infantry battalions became armoured regiments, the remaining three battalions being diverted to other formations. |
| The conversion of the division from infantry to armour - accomplished in the unbelievable period of only five months - was carried out by Major-General F.F. Worthington, known to all as Worthy, the founder of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps. |
