Lorried Infantry were not a part of the Infantry Division. They did not have organic transport like a Motorized Battalion. The Lorried Infantry battalion was organized identically to a Rifle battalion with the exception of having one extra vehicle and driver in each rifle company. They were found in the Armoured Division infantry brigade. They were each allocated an RASC/RCASC transport company from the Armoured Division divisional column.
