Mediterranean Theater
On the day war broke out¸ few nations imagined they would soon be forced to conduct land warfare outside of Europe. As a result¸ when the war reached North Africa¸ both men and machines were ill-prepared for the harsh demands of a desert campaign.But history is a testament to the caliber of leadership¸ ingenuity and resolve of those who fought under such harsh conditions. Thanks in part to its long-established presence in far-flung corners of the globe¸ no army would display these qualities better than the British Commonwealth Forces.
