Tanks moving through a dirt area, bringing up dust in the air

Specially fitted Scorpion tanks work their way through a minefield at El Alamein in October 1942. Mines littered the battlefield in 1942 and many lurk beneath the desert sand to the present day. Every year people, mostly local Bedouin, are killed or injured by these remnants of a battle fought seventy years ago. (AWM 128999)
