For The Duration: 2NZEF Officer Bruce Robertson On Active Duty And 'In The Bag'
Seller: Book Haven, Wellington, WLG, New Zealand
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Infantryman Bruce Robertson had a long war. A volunteer with the First Echelon, he entered Trentham Military Camp in October 1939, sailed for the Middle East in January 1940 and entered Maadi Camp near Cairo late the following month. While other early volunteers returned home on furlough in 1943 - many permanently - Bruce found himself overseas for the duration after being captured by Rommel's troops during the first Battle of El Alamein in July 1942. He would see out the rest of the war behind barbed wire in Italy and Germany. Arriving in Egypt as a private soldier, he later received officer training. In February 1942, as a newly commissioned lieutenant, he travelled to Syria, where 2NZEF was on border watch for German troops that might seek a back door route to Egypt via Turkey and Syria. Signed. Author's inscription on half-title page. 287 pages. Seller Inventory # 1600870
