Western Desert Campaign, the Desert War, took place in the deserts of Egypt and Libya
Western Desert Campaign, the Desert War, took place in the deserts of Egypt and Libya and was the main theatre in the North African campaign of the Second World War.
The R.A. Signaller, seldom mentioned In the news,
supplies one of the most vital needs of the guns
in action.
He lays the wires and operates the phones from the forward Observation Posts to the gun positions without the continual operation of the field telephones the guns would be blind.
Not only must these wires be laid often, in full view of the enemy, but they must be maintained and repaired during an action.

Picture shows: Work going on at the Observation Post which is under continuous shell fire. Being well dug in these men are pretty safe from all but a direct hit.
