Battle of El Alamein

The Battle of El Alamein was widely hailed as one of the turning points in the Second World War.
More than 4,000 Allied servicemen lost their lives and almost 9,000 were wounded in the combat
that saw General Sir Bernard Montgomery's troops defeat German general Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps.
Under the command of Montgomery, nearly 200,000 British, Australian, New Zealand, South African,
British Indian, Free French and Greek forces defeated the Axis powers.

At the time of the battle, which began on October 23, 1942 and ended on November 4, the Allies
were fighting to keep their vital supply lines open from the Mediterranean to the East.
Rommel had inflicted heavy defeats on Allied forces in Africa, forcing them back to the village
of El Alamein, about 60 miles west of Alexandria.
