THE FORGOTTEN PATROL BY A R CHANNEL IN SOUTH AFRICA

Rommel's Afrika Korps and the Desert Rats face each other at the gateway to Egypt.  While both sides build up their strength, small bands of Monty's Long Range Desert Group cross the trackless desert.  Their job: to count the men and supplies on the coast road, paving the way for the Special Air Services to attack airfields and ammunition dumps. After a devastating attack on an airfield, Sgt Harris and his men of the Fighting Four are lost.  They have a wounded officer, a truck, little water and practically no food.  Between them and base lie hundreds of miles of sun-blistered desert.  To be captured means death, for Hitler has ordered men like the Fighting Four to be shot as spies. Hard cover, fair condition.  188 pages.
