Victor of the Battle of Egypt
The War Illustrated, Volume 6, No. 143, Page 399, December 11, 1942.
Hard on the heels of Rommel's shattered columns, the 8th Army's commander watches the pursuit from his tank turret. Thirty-four years have passed since Bernhard Law Montgomery joined the Royal Warwickshire Regt. as a subaltern. In the last war he served three years on the Western Front; in this he took the 3rd Division to France, and brought it back from Dunkirk. Now he is concerned to see there's no Dunkirk for the Afrika Korps. Photo, British Official; Crown Copyright.
