retkit -> End of the road (9/5/2003 7:02:51 PM)

Battle ends quickly, when the axis realizes that his efforts are doomed. Greek 17th motorize infantry bn. with Anzac Armor punches a hole wide enough in the south. Northern flank : the Arab village is overrun by a company of Anzacs and a pair of Crusader I CS tanks. It was a classical example of what allenby did to turks in 1917, when one flank pinned the opposing side while the mobile arm punched a hole and then moved to encircle the other side. Of distinguished service were the AC of the recce. co of the RTR. They valiantly attacked the AT positions and destroyed a pair of flame tanks. For King and Country !
