Major John Lloyd read the message handed to him by the dispatch rider with his heart in his throat. His orders were to defend the strategic village of Vorrain, with only his inept Lieutenant Gordon Foreman and a handful of men in newly constructed pillboxes. They were hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned. But he had his […]
The camp is deserted, no sign of life anywhere. But what’s that you hear among the shifting sands in the barren North African desert? Maybe in the distance there is the drum and thump of artillery like a heartbeat, but not here, not even the howls of the wind interrupt the horrible stillness. That is […]
Four British soldiers stood on ground untouched for centuries. While the battle for North Africa raged above them, their greedy eyes fixed on the treasure of the ancient Egyptian tomb.
