men
who
fought
In
the
British
army
in
the
desert
and
finally
won
over
the
armies
of
Rommel
will
not
forget.
It
Is

of
a

It
meant
to

story
of

general's

by

during
the
fierce
fighting
In

1912

"The
Eighth

The
case
of
Oen.
Messerry
Is
one
to
contrast
with
that
of
another
general
who
was
cap-tared,
the
German
ton
Thoma
who
took
charge
of
operations
for
Rommel
when
the
latter
had
been
forced
to
retire.
The-
German
encountered
a
BrttUh
captain
when
he
was
on
a
scouting
expedition
In
the
desert
and
surrendered.
As
he
did
so
he
shouted
that
he
was
a
general-a
fact
which
had
already
been
apparent
to
the
captain
"from
the
amount
of
cold
on
him."
Not
so

until
their

were
silenced
and
their

Ills
Trick
Worked
Messervy
surrendered,
but
only
temporarily.
As
he
did
so
he
ripped
off
all
his
badges
so
tnat
nla
rank
would
not
be
known
because
a
soldier
of
an
particular
consequence
has
a
Better
chance
to
escape
than
a
general.
Messervy
found
himself
before
a
German
doctor.
You
look
an
old
man
to
be
ervlng
In
the
desert,"
said
the
German.
1
am
no
longer
a
boy,"
ad
mltted
the
general,
"but
I'm
a
good
fatigue
man."
'You
must
be
older
than
I
am,"
continued
the
doctor,
I
am
35."
"Yes,
yes,"
agreed
the
general
who
was
nearly
50.
"Just
a
year
or
two
older
though."
Oeneral
Messerry
and
two
of
his
officers
were
being
conducted
alone
In
a
lorry
driven
by
a
young
German
officer
and
when
the
British
attacked
he
and
his
companions,
in
the
confusion,
managed
to
nip
out
of
the
lorry
and
scoot
for
an
old
gun
emplacement
about
400
yards
away.
There
they
stayed
until
it
was
dark
and
then
set
out
for
the
spot
where
they
thought
the
British
troops
might
be.
They
crept
through
several
enemy
parties
but
Just
before
dawn,
after
travelling
18
miles,
a
Scottish
voice
challenged
them
and
they
knew
they
were
safe.
The
action
Is
typical
of
Mesi
servy.
It
has
recently
been
an
nounced
that
he
commands
the
7th
Indian
Division
In
Arakan.
And
in
February,
when
the
Japanese
attacked,
his
headquarters
was
over-run.
But,
in
pyjamas,
the
general
organized
a
defence
and
beat
olf
the
assault.

I

that
