The troops fighting at Alamein under the command of Monty, were from New Zealand. Although the Desert Rats, and the British 8th Army at large, went on to win glory in North Africa, it was a brigade of artillery from New Zealand that narrowly escaped being wiped out and turned Rommels flanks at Al Alamein.
Regarding which flag we might be flying today. The debt owed by Britain to other nations during the Second World War often goes unrecognised. In particular, we have the commies to thank for turning Adolfs attention their way. Apart from a few volunteers, Septics took no part at all in the Battle of Britain, which ended on the commencement of operation Barbarosa. If anyone "saved our asses" in WWII, it wasn't Septics. It was the Canuck and Polish that fought alongside our RAF BOYS during the Battle of Britain. Hitler was a spent force when you lot joined in.
