EA '42 Gazala map question

[Glenn Saunders]

Glenn,

I am sure you have more sources on the battle than I do. Perhaps I was misled by the accounts I read that say "on" the ridge, not in it.

From Carver, Tobruk p. 197, describing the attack of the the 46 and 7 RTRs from the north on Sidra Ridge, "The five mile forward slope north of the ridge ..."

Perhaps Carver was wrong.

I just dug out a source map - not the one used - but a good source map all the same. Sidra ridge is a bit of high ground but it is the escaprment just south of where the label is located.

So the map is correct - the label is just badly placed.
