Public Relations Officer (by John D. Baker,) Branch 156 -- . The following is an eye-wit- ness account by Flight-Lieuten- ant Edmund Daly, who was at- tached to the Eighth Army in North Africa as the Commanding Officer of a forward Radar Unit in October 1942. EL ALAMEIN Such names as Dunkirk, Dieppe, D-Day, Battle of Britain etc. are well-known events to many Canadians who participated in them. Although there were just a handful of us, there were Canadians in one of the decisive battles - the Battle of Alamein in North Africa. Next Monday, October 23rd, at 9.40 P.m. marks the thirtieth anniversary of that offensive. It had been a bleak and discour- aging summer for the world. Th6, Germans advancing into Rus- sia, the Japs expanding their con- quests in the Pacific, and the Eighth Army having made a tir- ing and humiliating retreat across hundreds of miles of des- ert. My 'unit had been near To- bruk and had fought in that re- treat for eight weeks and 'were one of the last. unitsin contact with the enemy. " Rom mel'S army had stretched their supply lines to the limit and we had put up a sort of line at El Alamein., There was a gener- al air of despondency and our main plans were where to re- retreat to next. My radar unit was well for- ward in the "fluid" area where the tanks and guns were stationed and' the only traffic was supply trucks moving up with ammo and petrol and rushing back to their bases. A good indicator of the think- ing at the time was when the army dug In slit trenches through our camp and proceeded East- ward toward Cairo. We heard that a new General called Mont- gomery was taking over. It was just about the time of the slit trench activities. I still remem- ber the change ,of feeling when Monty moved up to the front for the first time. His first order was, "No more trenches; this, is as far as they go." Suddenly there seemed to be a change from despair to confidence. As 'C.O. of my unit, I was called in to a secret briefing on the date and time of the offensive a few weeks earlier. I kept the secret till 9.30 p.m., ten minutes before the offensive was to start. 'I asked one of my sergeants to call all the men not on duty up-to the, rise where we had our unit stationed, looking down west- ward to El Alamein, just a few miles away. For a week prev- ious, we had looked down from for DIAMONDS, Wt TCHLS JEWELLERY, FINE CHINC, GIFTS FOR EVERY OCCAS1 0f4, All Types of Re pairs Phone -,27-0270 our cliff northward across a wide, flat plain, with the bite Mediterranean in the distance. All week they had been assemb- ling canvas covered lorries in the plain below us. By the after- noon of the 23rd they seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see. Just at dusk we saw a startling sight. The Torrid seemed to split right down the centre from front to back and each revealed a tank hidden un- der this canvas frame. As dusk descended they moved off like ghosts westward to the battle line. When I had all the men at- sembled I then told them what to expect. "In the next few min- utes," I said, "you are going to witness the offensive which will be the turning point of the war. It's no more retreat from now on." In the dark, the search- lights wandered in the sky oveir Alamein. Right on the dot of 9.40 p.m. two powerful beams a mild or so apart intersected in a mighty cross. In an instant eight hundred 25 pounders opened up. The noise was deafening, the flashes were blinding. The bar -0 rage was non-stop for a full twenty minutes, but kept up in ' sectors all night. For those of us who witnessed it, it was an uri-J forgettable night. I moved up with my unit till the final stir:- render in Africa •the following May at Cape Bon near Tunis. It, did turn out to be a decisive point in the War and I like to think there were at least a few Canadians who took part in *it that night of October 23rd 1942.

"Drugs are freely available ,n both primary and secondary schools, in our county.," Dr.Mils reports. "There is free access and liberal sale of drugs here."
