George Juskalian (Armenian: Գևորգ Ժուսգալեան ; June 7, 1914 – July 4, 2010) was a decorated member of the United States Army who served for over three decades and fought in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
 Following graduation from Boston University, Juskalian entered the army as a second lieutenant in June 1936.
 During World War II, he served with the infantry during the North African Campaign and took part in Operation Torch.
 At the Battle of the Kasserine Pass, he was captured by German troops and became a prisoner of war (POW) for twenty-seven months.
 During the Korean War he commanded an infantry battalion.
 He was then stationed in Tehran where he acted an advisor to the Imperial Iranian Army throughout 1957 and 1958.
 During the Vietnam War, Juskalian once again undertook advisory duties, working with the South Vietnamese Army between 1963 and 1964, before serving as the MACV inspector general under General William Westmoreland.
Operation "Marne Torch" refers to two operations launched by Coalition forces in 2007 against al-Qaeda in Iraq in the Arab Jabour area of Babil province.
 This campaign is named after Operation Torch, the joint US/British invasion of French North Africa in 1942, presumably because of the two operations' similar thrust in to the enemies southern underbelly.
HMS "Antelope" was a British A-class destroyer, which was completed for the Royal Navy in 1930.
 "Antelope" served throughout the Second World War, taking part in the sinking of three enemy submarines and in Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of French North Africa.
Henry Bolton Graham Eyres-Monsell, 2nd Viscount Monsell (1905–1994) served in the Intelligence Corps during the Second World War, reaching the rank of lieutenant colonel.
 He was mentioned in dispatches on 16 September 1943 and recommended for the MBE for his services to security during the planning stages of Operation Torch.
 No confirmation of this latter award has been found.
 However, he was awarded the United States Medal of Freedom with Bronze Palm.
Operation Torch (initially called Operation Gymnast) was the British-United States invasion of French North Africa during the North African Campaign of the Second World War which started on 8 November 1942.
Operation Flagpole was part of the run-up to Operation Torch, the planned Allied invasion of North Africa during World War II.
 It involved arranging for and carrying out a top-secret high-level meeting between U.S. General Mark W. Clark, representing the Allies, and Général Charles E. Mast, the leader of a group of pro-Allied Vichy France officers in French North Africa, to secure their cooperation with the invasion.
An Army at Dawn: The War in North Africa, 1942–1943 is a Pulitzer Prize–winning book written in 2002 by long-time "Washington Post" correspondent Rick Atkinson.
 The book is a history of the North African Campaign, particularly focused on the role of the United States military.
 The book follows the early planning stages of the Allied invasion (Operation Torch) of North Africa, the landings in Casablanca, Oran, and Algiers, and finally the back and forth struggle for dominance in Tunisia.
 Atkinson constructs his narrative from letters, newspaper articles, and personal diaries of commanders, soldiers, and others on the ground in northern Africa.
 The book discusses the battlefield failings and successes of American troops and their commanders and the larger context of the burgeoning cooperation between the Allied forces in World War II.
The North African Campaign of the Second World War took place in North Africa from 10 June 1940 to 13 May 1943.
 It included campaigns fought in the Libyan and Egyptian deserts (Western Desert Campaign, also known as the Desert War) and in Morocco and Algeria (Operation Torch) and Tunisia (Tunisia Campaign).
Operation Kingpin was part of the run-up to Operation Torch, the planned Allied invasion of North Africa during World War II.
 It was a successor to Operation Flagpole, in which a secret meeting between U.S. General Mark W. Clark and diplomat Robert Murphy, representing the Allies, and General Charles E. Mast, the leader of a group of pro-Allied Vichy France officers in French North Africa, was arranged to secure their cooperation with the invasion.
 In Operation Kingpin, French General Henri Giraud, code-named "Kingpin", was released from confinement and brought to Gibraltar to meet with Operation Torch commander General Dwight D. Eisenhower and Clark in order to secure his cooperation with the invasion.
The Géo Gras Group was a French resistance movement that played a decisive role during Operation Torch, the British-American invasion of French North Africa during WWII.
