Sidi el Barrani, Egypt, 13 December 1940. Official caption of the photo (AWM 004415): "Official photographers take shots of the ruins of the Italian stronghold a few hours after the Britih Army had passed through". A personal note: my uncle, my mother's brother, captain of Regio Esercito (Italian Royal Army) on duty in 10th Italian Army, destroyed by British Army (Compass Operation), was taken prisoner at Sidi el Barrani and spent six years like POW in the concentration camp for officers of Yol, India.
