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 101 Ingnly mobile desert wariare, in which patrols foam 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 swarin around as soon as the sun warms the night-cooled de- sert. After washing in a canvas bucket with water which is speci- ally brought in water

carts, the trooper dons khaki shirts, shorts and gym shoes, which

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.

Al Fresco Breakfast Beakfast in the open ir at eight consists of tinned fish, tea, bread, marmalade, and perhapis 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- ine Bedouin who pops up out of the ground with the skirt of his grubby, night- gown-like costume filled with tiny eggs of mysteri- ots 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

When an operation is under way the scene changes. Tanks and armoured ears rattle off into the darkness. Infantry silently climbs into trucks and, with the mobile artillery, follow to the festination some- where behind or near the Italian positions. 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 planes,

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. tare as many prisoners and documents as possible, spike Pe guns, blow up ammunition dumps, cut telephone lines, shool all who show resistance, destroy trucks or drive them

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