About the British 8th Army:

The British 8th Army, nicknamed the "Desert Rats," was a field army formation of the British Army during World War II, fighting primarily in the North African and Italian campaigns. Formed in September 1941, the 8th Army became famous for its victories against German and Italian forces in the Western Desert Campaign, including the pivotal Battle of El Alamein in 1942. Under commanders like General Bernard Montgomery, these soldiers endured harsh desert conditions while wearing their distinctive tropical khaki uniforms and carrying essential desert warfare equipment. The 8th Army's success in North Africa marked a turning point in the war and established them as one of the most celebrated formations in British military history.
