    With the 70th anniversary of the battle of Wadi Akarit, Tunisia, on 6 April 2013, I am pleased to announce some new pages on my web site which depict the dramatic story which unfolded on this battlefield to bring Allied victory.
    Wadi Akarit was in my view World War Two's own Charge of the Light Brigade! It was the conflict which led to the Nazis being kicked out of Africa and I've been able to post up a detailed account of the battle from the soldier, Sergeant Brian Moss, who filled in the crucial anti-tank ditch which barred the Allied troops access to the hills. Brian's memoirs have not been published before and are kindly provided by his son, Mike, who lives in Canada - Mike is interested in getting the full memoir published if anyone is out there. Brian's memoir is well worth a read, as well as another passage from my Dad's memoir and Wilf Shaw's account of part of the battle. Three soldiers' memories coming together 70 years later which together make fascinating reading.
    Thanks
    Paul
