THE NEW YORK TIMES, New York, NY, July 3, 1942
* Battle of El Alamein
* World War II Egypt
This 34 page newspaper has a five column headline on the front page: "BRITISH SWEEP AROUND AXIS FLANK IN EGYPT, U. S. AND R. A. F. FLIERS DEAL SMASHING BLOWS; CHURCHILL, ADMITTING PERIL, IS UPHELD, 475-25" with many subheads and related map. Nice to have in this famous NYC title.
Other news of the day with much on World War II.
Light browning with little margin wear, otherwise good.
wikipedia notes: On 1 July 90th Light Infantry Division attacked along the coast but was repulsed by the South African 1st Division in the Alamein box supported by heavy artillery fire.[9] At about 1000 hours on 1 July 21st Panzer Division attacked Deir el Shein. The Indian brigade held out the whole day in desperate fighting but by the evening had been overrun. However, the time they bought allowed Auchinleck to organize a hasty defense at the western end of Ruweisat Ridge.
