Jeanavive and all, as my mostest favourite part of wartime history is Egypt and North Africa, especially the whimsy and whim of the Anglo allies whilst there, I thought you all may appreciate these LIFE pics- firstly a lengthy series on the famous Shepheards Hotel in Cairo including staff and barmen, managers and skilled workers, and scene's of the garden lounges, bars and various back of house areas of this fascinating hotel, during the war. Following that is some scenes that any Allied servicemen will well remember when on leave in Cairo!!! Enjoy, as I was over the moon when I discovered these pics!
Open your packet of V's, get your fly whisk handy and relax in the cane chair while you check these pics out;

An Italian title: "El Alamein: La Linea del Fouco" was released 2002. Think "PLATOON" in the North African desert. The movie, Italian with English subtitles in 11 segments, is on youtube.
