Promoted to colonel in 1962 on General Staff RAC at the War Office. In December 1966 he was promoted to brigadier RAC HQ Western Command, then Brigadier at the MoD as Director of Operational Requirements, at the end of which he retired from the Army in April 1968.
Promoted to Brevet Lieutenant Colonel 1957 and full Lieutenant Colonel in Aug 1958, Ironside took command of the 8th Royal Tank Regiment (8RTR) in Fallingbostel, BAOR. He was subsequently responsible for the amalgamation of 8RTR and 5RTR in 1959.

Ironside landed at Calais with the 3rd Royal Tank Regiment (3RTR) on 20 May 1940 in the final phase of the battle for the port. Five days later, 3RTR was out of ammunition and petrol. The order was given "Every man for himself". Ironside and his platoon started marching along the beach towards Dunkirk. They were captured in the early hours of the morning. During the next two weeks, the men were force-marched to Trier, approximately 300 miles away. Food was so scarce for the men that they had to break away from the main group and risk being shot by the guards in order to scrounge food.
Hugo Ironside was born in Thrapston, Northamptonshire, and educated at St Edward's School, Oxford.
