“The desert was quivering with heat. The gun detachments and the platoons squatted in their pits and trenches, the sweat running in rivers down their dust-caked faces. There was a terrible stench. The flies swarmed in black clouds upon the dead bodies and excreta and tormented the wounded. The place was strewn with burning tanks and carriers, wrecked guns and vehicles, and over all drifted the smoke and the dust from bursting high explosives and from the blasts of guns.” – Cecil Ernest Lucas-Phillips
"It may almost be said, ‘Before Alamein we never had a victory. After Alamein we never had a defeat.’" - Winston Churchill
