For weeks I had seen guns, tanks and planes massed In the 85 miles of sand from Alexan dria to El Alameln. My watch read 9:30 one min ute to go. I braced myself. Somewhere out In the blue a gunner, couldn't wait. A single light flashed Into the night five seconds too soon. Then as fas as I could see, cannons flashed into action. For a few seconds the desert remained silent until the noise of the heavy guns traveling on slower sound waves arrived only to be drowned out by even heavier cannon opening up directly behind me. The din was tremendous. The first part of General B. L. Montgomery's older to attack and destroy the Axis army in Egypt had been carried out. Into the night, decorated by soaring signals of combinations of nearly every color, our red tracer bullets pierced the din and indicated our Infantry was exhausted in the soft sand.-- Meanwhile supporting artillery slowed down to steady firing every thirty seconds, minute after minute, hour after hour.
