Image of US Army soldiers headed by Brig Gen Anthony McAuliffe on Christmas Day. 1944. Overlaid are the four Battle Craft Titles by Ben Skipper. The Battle Craft series provides an overview of each battle described, introducing the reader, be they modeller or military history enthusiast, to the main themes of each battle. Each title is filled with illustrations, maps and photographs from a range of sources, to help bring the history of the battle to life.
The Christmas countdown continues and today a gentle reminder that my four Battle Craft titles are, like all my books, available as hard copies and eBooks from Pen and Sword Books.

Wide view of the Allied cemetery near the El Alamein battle site south of Alexandria, Egypt. El Alamein was the battle where the UK and allies halted the German advance across Africa in in October and November of 1942. Here we see a row of rose bushes (I think) in front of several rows of headstones.

![Seen from the air in black and white, ocean is solid black, coast and desert are pale gray. A narrow road runs along the coast, about 8 kilometers in length from left to right. The Western Desert of Egypt seems mostly flat, but rougher terrain, mesas and scarps, appear near the bottom of the photo. Trucks, tanks, and other vehicles appear as a large number of tiny dots along the road, or pulled off beside it. Text of accompanying caption reads, in part: "British watch Rommel's Rout; Air photo shows big German retreat. On the morning of November 7, a British Reconnaissance plane, flying at 20,000 feet, took this magnificent aerial picture of the army of [German] Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in full retreat westward along the Mediterranean coast road in Egypt... more than 1000 Axis vehicles...masses of congestion, at far left and center of coast road and inside oyster-shaped escarpment at far right. Thes show where British and American bombers have managed to block the road with bomb pits or by setting afire Axis vehicles."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5jcucqldr3snixegr4fekdem/bafkreibdv2juqsxhivrkdbpg64juxprqwpgxp6kthp7tydh2pdlhjvtxn4)

Thought I'd share. Big, 3259x2229; who knows how Bluesky's compression will affect it?

A citadel, with a square front and two turrets. It is flying the Egyptian flag from the top.
A mosaic on the floor with birds on it. There should be space for 9 birds, in a 3 by 3 layout, but the top 2 on the left are destroyed.
Rows and rows of gravestones at a cemetery in the desert

Che ci azzeccano con #ElAlamein il ministro ex cognato e la truffatrice falsificatrice di bilanci ?
