John - it should also be noted that the position of 50th TT Division was in the lower half of the OB at El Alamein -13th Corps - this was owing to the fact that on the way back from Gazlala - "The Gazala Gallop" the 50th were badly mauled and lost the complete 150th Bde.
consequently they were virtually in reserve at Alam el Halpha and were helped out with the Greek Bde for the main agressive attack at El Alamein as well as having some units from 44th Div which had just landed from the U.K. and didn't really become a full Tyneside Div for a long time - just before they came home I believe for D day.
Cheers
