The 48th regiment was an armoured division of the British army. It was originally formed as a duplicate of the 42nd Royal Tank Regiment.
In 1943, during engagements before the Battle of Longstop Hill in Tunisia, it disabled a German Tiger 1 tank which was sent back to the UK. It is currently the only operating Tiger tank in the world.
