I have a Brig W T Brooks commanding 23 Brigade between 03/09/39-08/08/40 and then Brig J T Leslie from 09/09/40-08/05/41
Also in between Galloway and Cox commanding the Brigade, a Lt-Col R F Heyworth had tempoary command from 04/09/41-26/09/41

Hi Andy,
Thank you very much. For some reason I had Leslie's command end garbled into 15/08/40 instead of 08/05/41 (It must have been late that day), which is why I weren't able to find out who command the brigade before Galloway. I have also missed Heyworth's temp command. What a day!
So this makes me doubt my next statement, but isn't it true that Brooks didn't become CO before 20/09/40 with the renaming of the Canal Brigade, which he commanded?
