Lt Col McDade comments on his time in Mali: "The mission brings together virtually all European nations, collectively helping the Malian Armed Forces develop in a wide range of military areas, at both the strategic and tactical levels. It is a fantastic mix of cultures and thinking making EUTM Mali an overwhelmingly fun and rewarding place to work, presenting daily opportunities for professional fulfilment and development. It has been a fabulous experience to date and I expect my final two months with the mission to be likewise. All the British military personnel in EUTM feel massively privileged to be part of this great organisation that is doing so much good. And when the going does get tough, we do what every good Brit would do: Keep calm, drink tea, and eat cake."Photo2017-10-25T08:28:18 1159 185677149392_10155791510804393https://www.facebook.com/ukarmedforces/posts/10155791510804393The 2017 Army Photographic Competition winners were announced today.

At the time of the battle, the Allies were fighting to keep their vital supply lines open from the Mediterranean to the East. Rommel had inflicted heavy defeats on Allied forces in Africa forcing them back to the village of El Alamein, about 60 miles west of Alexandria. Finally, on October 23 General Montgomery ordered a successful counter-attack, he commanded nearly 200,000 British, Australian, New Zealand, South African, British Indian, Free French and Greek Forces. El Alamein was the first major Allied victory of the Second World War. For many, it was the moment they believed the war need not be lost. Recalling the importance of the Allied victory at El Alamein, Sir Winston Churchill said: "Before Alamein we never had a victory. After Alamein we never had a defeat.” Today we remember the sacrifice of all those Allied soldiers who took part.
