Overview:
During the tedious days of confining the Axis to their ring of frontier fortresses around Halfaya, HQ 4th South African Infantry Brigade authorized a small operation to eliminate an enemy forward position. This strongpoint, manned by mostly Italian troops of the 55th Savona Divisione, was making a nuisance of itself by firing on Allied reconnaissance patrols. B Company, 2nd Royal Durban Light Infantry was assigned to the task of "removing" it.Attacker: South African (No. 9 Platoon, 2nd Company, 2nd Royal Durban Light Infantry (RDLI)/C Troop, A Battery, 2nd S.A.
