More relevant (I hope!) info. Credit for liberting Lille is given to elements of the British 8th Armoured Brigade (a combined force from the 4th/7th Royal Dragoon Guards and the 12th Kings Royal Rifle Corps). At the time 8th Armoured Brigade was attached to 50th Infantry Division. However, this force was then withdrawn and sent with the rest of 50th Division to guard the flank of the advance between Ghent and Antwerp. So it's possible the British didn't reach Tourcoming at this time.
