Ahh, MORSEHEAD and FREYBERG! Naturally they were two of Monty's best: they were both Gallipoli veterans and "Tiny" Freyberg had his VC.
Alamein was a stunning victory by the Australians (
!) and a terrible loss for the New Zealanders, who through lack of armour support from the confused British lost two battalions who were overrun and captured on Ruweisat Ridge. This led to Freyberg insisting on forming his own NZ armoured division which went on to settle the score in Italy.
The Australians got sick of more British antics and came home to fight the Japs in New Guinea, bringing back as many 12 cab CMP's as they could fit in their kitbags.
