The First Battle of El Alamein began on 1 and continued until the 27th July 1942. The battle eventually halted the furthest (and final) advance made by the Axis forces into Egypt, when it was stopped close to the train station of El Alamein, itself a little over 50 miles from Alexandria.

An excellent evening with the South Nottinghamshire Hussars to celebrate the Battle of Knightsbridge, where I was welcomed into the regimental family and given permission to wear the regimental colours as an Honourary Hussar. To the last round!
