Pipeline to Battle

Includes the War in North Africa Illustration Pack - 112 photos/illustrations and 21 maps.
A Sapper with the Eight Army tells the story of one of the greatest engineering feats of the war…of how the man who became known as the "water bloke" to the entire British Army in Africa delivered precious drinking water from the Nile over the shell-ridden wastes of the desert. An engrossing sidelight on the brilliant campaign that cleared the way for the invasion of Europe.

You'll Do Your Work On Water"
