High Danger
HISTORICAL ACCOUNT
LOCATION: 10 miles west of El Alamein
DATE: 31 October 1943
COMMENTARY: As the 9th Australian Division advanced westwards, a German-held salient in the north projected into their lines. 
To hold Rommels attention, it was decided that the division would advance nothwards to the sea to pinch out the salient. After 
heavy fighting, they were stopped just short of the coast, leaving a narrow tapering salient running north to south. At 1230 
hours, elements of the 21st Panzer Division attacked, hoping to eliminate the threat. Advance elements of the 21st Panzer 
Division soon overran B Company of the 2/32nd Battalion, destroying it as a fighting force, but then Valentines from the 40th 
Royal Tank Regiment intervened, hoping to stop the slaughter. By days end, the 40th RTR had driven the 21st Panzer Division 
from the field, but had lost 25 tanks in the porcess. October 31st 1942 is recalled by those who survived it as a day of 
"High Danger".
