Commonwealth Victory
Tony,
Until I studied the tape I didn't realize the input of your army.I agree with you that the NZ forces didn't get the tank support thru the mine fields.After their fiasco,the British took it upon themselves to attack the middle of the line using the 1st Guards brigade.But for the final battle the line from the Mediterranean Ocean were the Auzzies,NZ,51st Highlanders.The Indians,& the South Africans.As a Canadian,I never realized how much your people were responsible for the final victory.We had our own problems that August 1942 aka Dieppe.But it's good to reflect upon how gallant your boys were.
Best Regards
