Hi All, Has anyone got a copy of The London Rifle Brigade 1919-1950 - I'm looking for a very quick reference for what 7th Battalion were doing on 25 October 1942 at 2nd Battle of El Alamein. Sgt. Eric Botting (photo attached) lost his life that day and I just need a general 1-2 lines of what action + exactly where they were. I know how he died but need location and what they were doing. Maybe war diary has it also? I'd really appreciate your help everyone. Many thanks, Daniel.
Haven`t got the book but they were at El Wishka trying to force a way through Rommel`s Panzerarmee part of 7 Motor Brigade 1st Armoured Brigade. Sgt Major Robert M Jones won a MM here. I`ll see if I can find his citation for your reference. Kyle Here you are;-
The one written by Hastings and published in 1950 by Gale and Polden? If so yes I do if you still want to do a look up?
