EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and danger of the Second Battle of El Alamein in 1942. The image shows a British infantryman in desert fatigues, determinedly advancing with a fixed bayonet, as a shell bursts in the background. The battle, which took place between 23 October and 4 November 1942, was a pivotal moment in the North African campaign of World War Two. Allied forces, led by Lieutenant-General Bernard Montgomery, successfully broke the Axis lines, forcing them into a retreat that ultimately pushed them all the way back to Tunisia. This photograph is one of seven official prints, each providing a unique and poignant glimpse into the events of this significant battle. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and sacrifice of the soldiers involved, and the decisive role that the Second Battle of El Alamein played in the outcome of the war in North Africa.
