Historical Background:
For Operation Aberdeen, the elimination of Axis forces in the Cauldron, General Ritchie had planned an attack by the XXXth Army Corps with the reinforcement of the 5th Indian Division. But this plan was complicated and, in the morning of the 5 June only the 9th Indian Brigade, with the support of some Matilda tanks of the 22nd Armoured Brigade, attacked the ridge of Dahar El Aslagh where was entrenched the Italian Armoured Division Ariete. Italian soldiers of the 8th Bersaglieri Regiment had some losses at the beginning of the battle but they remained in their entrenchments and made some counter-attacks. The battalions of the Indian Division, 2nd West Yorkshire, 2nd/4th Gurkhas Rifle and 4/10th Baluch Regiment, failed the attack and were repelled by Italians with heavy losses.
