Cairo to Berlin, 1940-1945. In 1940, Roger Fogg's father, Ted, and Ernest Webster, joined the Desert Rats, one of the most famous divisions to fight in the Second World War. They were posted to the Western Desert and fought with the 7th Armoured Division against Mussolini's soldiers and Rommel's Afrika Korps. They were at Beda Fomm, Alamein and Tripoli, finally driving the Axis from Africa at Tunis. Next came Salerno and the Italian campaign before withdrawal to Britain in readiness for D-Day. Moving through France, Belgium, Holland and on into Germany itself, this is the story of these two young men whose friendship continued until Ted Fogg's death in 1986.
