My Italians performed very well indeed in defence and the Afrika Korps gave the Americans a very nasty shock.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-3435123696602603532012-06-02T09:19:45.674+01:002012-06-02T09:19:45.674+01:00Good to see these photos again.

The Axis players - Generals Cordery, Kemp, Willey and Von Gow were popularly known as "the four old Nazis". What a cheek.
