AT BRITISH ARMORED HEAD
QUARTERS. Libya, Nov. 2l 'By
Wireless Delayed. Il spent an
hour sitting with intelligence offlcers
in a radio-equipped armored truck
today. 1t was one of the most dra-
matte hours I have ever lived
through.
The progressive story Of the battle
being fought in the tawny desert
wastes a few miles west came crac-
king through a radio receiving set
in swift staccato fragments. 1t was
like listening to broadcast OF a
championship prizeflght-only the
drama was multiplied hundredfold
because here mems lives and the
result OF one of the wars most
important operations hung in the
balance.
The young English captain wear
ing earphones who sat at table
making notes of reports from the
battle front gave us details OF each
new move as the radio receiver
plucked them from the air. 1t was
a vivid picture his short interrupted
phrases painted Of the terrific, con-
fused battle in which German and
British tanks weaved through fog
like clouds of sand, flung up by their
laboring tracks.
1t was picture of squadrons lum-
bering on each other in a modern
version of horse cavalry charges, Of
guns snarling fame and splitting
death. of steel shattering steel and
men facing absurd odds and unbe-
lievably often coming through un-
scathed.
Sergeant Tells Of Battle.
Outside. I buttonholed red
haired sergeant tank commander as
he jumped down from his tank
which had just been dragged back
from the battle where enemy shells
had disabled it.
My tank was in the leading
squadron at Sidi Gubi," he told me.
We we're told there were eight
Italian tanks ahead of us and we
went in. Instead of 8 we met IT,.
1t did not make the job any easier
that they had nests of anti-tank
guns behind them and a line of rs

millimeter guns mounted on trucks
still farther back. The enemy tanks
did not give us much trouble. My
tank alone knocked out three.
But the guns were pretty trouble
some. We were ordered to get them
and we went in and ran over the
anti-tank nests. I saw one OF our
drivers knock out one nest with
a hand grenade. He was wounded
in one arm and driving with his
free hand but he released the con-
trolls for moment, pulled the pin
from the grenade with his teeth,
tossed it into the nest and yelled:
Share that up among you, you

Escape From Capture.
THE gunner and wireless operator
OF another tank had a remarkable
escape from certain death or cap
ture. The driven of their tank was
killed by an anti-tank shell and
they jumped out, thinking the tank
was disabled. Other British tanks
were retiring from the field but the
gunner and wireless operator were
unable to climb on board one and
remained stranded on the field on
which enemy tanks were advancing
In desperation they ran back to
their own tank and climbed in.
Sitting on the body of the driver,
which thew Uere ma ble tn eytricate
they tried the controls The tank
was still in running order and they
set off amid a storm of shells and
bullets from enemy tanks hot on
their heels and drove back three
miles to safety"
The desert is full of stories which
outdo in strangeness anything the
