Hoping to spring a surprise and outflank the defenses of the Mareth Line, Lt. Gen. Freyberg VC negotiated the whole of his command in secret along a single dusty track, through desolate terrain. Only previously used by Bedouins, it had been scouted as a possible route just weeks before.
Freyburg was always to be seen up with the leading troops, often standing on the roof of his Stuart tank. Here he urges along Shermans of the Staffordshire and Nottinghamshire Yeomonries from 8th Armoured Brigade.
