Troops

in the Desert:

Their Daily Life

By JOHN YINDRICH United Press Staff Correspondent

Flies, boredom, and heat are the biggest enemies of British -troops in Egypt.

Newly-drafted troops quickly get ac- climatized to the pecu- liar local conditions whilst undergoing training for highly mobile desert warfare, in which patrols roam the desert waste' in armoured cars and in- fantry ride in trucks seeking Italians with whom to do battle.

An average trooper, who often sleeps in the open air, is generally awakened soon after 6 a.m. by the flies which swarm around as soon warms as

the sun the night-cooled de- sert. After washing in a canvas bucket with water which is speci-

ally brought in water

矿

carts, the trooper dons khaki shirts, shorts and gym shoes, which are necessary for the desert, where the tem- perature is often over 106 Fahrenheit.

Al Fresco Breakfast

Breakfast in the open air at eight consists of tinned fish, tea, bread, marmalade, and perhaps. butter, plus any luxury which friends may have sent. This is the menu for troops in advanced posi- tion; if they are farther back they get eggs and bacon. Sometimes it is possible to buy eggs hun- dreds of miles from any- where from some wander- ing Bedouin who pops up out of the ground with the skirt of his grubby, night- gown-like costume filled with tiny eggs of mysteri- ous origin.

Out in the blue the units are small and highly me- chanised, for which reason troopers are liable to be called on to do any job. The morning is often spent overhauling tanks, arm- oured cars and trucks, if

As the morning wears, as the sun beats down hot- ter and hotter until lunch- time, when one eats bully beef, bread, tea, and a mi d special dessert hordes of flies.

The appearance of flies anywhere in the desert within five minutes of the presence of a human being. is one of the major mys- teries of Egypt.

BBC Nows

In the afternoon, the trooper plays cards, usual- ly Pontoon, until tea, which consists of bread and jam, and perhaps, but- ter. After tea, he listens in to the BBC news, writes a letter home, or, for the fifteenth time, rereads the last one he got.

Supper

consists of bread, tinned meat or fish and tinned fruit, and is eaten under canvas by the light of spluttering paraf- fin lamps, although some units have electric light.

The BBC is the main. source of evening en- tertainment, but lucky units have a dart- board. Yarns are awap- ped and experiences exchanged until they are so old they are bewhisker- éd. Sometimes someone- drops in after a sixty-mile trek across the desert after a breakdown, and tells what it feels like to be lost in the desert.

Unlucky Brigadier Everyone is in bed early, but sometimes the whistle sounds through the pitch black night, and everyone rushes barefooted across the stony desert to the nearest trench. At one place, which shall be name- less, half a unit jumped into a trench on top of a Brigadier whom they fail- ed to see in the dark.

When an operation is under way the scene changes. Tanks

and armoured cars rattle off into the darkness. Infantry silently climbs into trucks and, with the mobile artillery, follow to the destination some- where behind or near the Italian positións. The mobile' column arrives at the selected spot just before dawn, and lies doggo until nightfall while the mobile observation post keeps watch for Italian movements and Italian planek.

After nightfall the guns open up and the tanks and armoured cars rush in with machine-guns blazing, follow- ed by the infantry who cap. ture as many prisoners and documents as possible, spike the guns, blow up ammunition dumps, cut telephone lines, shoot all who show resistance, destroy trucks or drive them 'awny.

This is just a snapshot of the life of those who have recently scored such out- standing successes in desert battle.
