Description
DABA, EGYPT. 1942-11-06. PRISONERS WALKING ALONG TOWARDS EL ALAMEIN WHILE OUR ARMIES STREAM WESTWARD AFTER THE AXIS FORCES. THESE POOR BEGGERS HAD TO WALK. NO ONE (NOT EVEN THE PHOTOGRAPHER) WOULD STOP TO PICK THEM UP & DRIVE THEM TO THE PRISONER OF WAR CAGE. SEVERAL OF THESE GROUPS HAILED PASSING VEHICLES, ASKING TO BE ARRESTED. THE ONLY REPLIES THEY GOT WERE RUDE AUSTRALIANS OF "V FOR VICTORY". ALEXANDRIA" "THATA WAY".
