The Day Rommel Was Stopped by F R Jephson
The battle of 2 July 1942 at Ruweisat Ridge in North Africa is not well known but it was the day that Rommel was finally stopped. This account was written by an officer in the small British force that turned back Rommel's forces.
..gives us a glimpse of what it was like to be there and of the men who “stuck to their guns”. We, as Gunners, should be thankful that we have this story published. Chris Jephson has done his father proud. Highly recommended. * The Journal of the Royal Artillery *
An honest reflection of the widely differing analyses that can be drawn from the few - and probably biased - sources. * Miniature Wargames - Chris Jarvis *
