Seeing the bleak landscape . . . imagining an infantryman (of either side) knowing he would be ordered to cross that open terrain to get at the enemy . . . gave me a shudder.

Thank you for sharing.

Wow... Thanks for posting this! Those are some really amazing photos.

I'm also curious: Did you leave the scraps of paper (and other loot) behind?

Thank you!  If you haven't seen it yet, the Italian film El Alamein is a must see.
