Private Myers drops a two-pounder bomb into his mortar during an advance on Tel el Eisa, west of El Alamein, in August 1942. According to one bombardier, describing an earlier attack, the gunfire was deafening: The din of the barking guns is indescribable. Everywhere there are gun-flashes; and the sound fills the brain. My eardrums are dulled and my head feels heavy. (AWM 041968)
