    Does anyone happen to know where or have access to a map of the Australian and Italian positions directly around Tel Eisa in the First Alamein battles?

    I am doing research on this battle and have been having a hell of time finding any definitive sources.

    Thanks in advance if you can point me to something.

    Cheers,

    I have the ufficio storico (Italian army historical office) 4 volume history of the NA campaign and there are plenty of maps and sketches though they do not usually go below regiment/battalion level. I've attached the closest match I could find, but as I know very little about that battle I may have guessed wrong. The may be something relevant to your research in the text as well, as an "other side of the hill" source, but you need to point me exactly as to where to look (dates and units) otherwise it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack (each volume is around 400 pages and there is no index of locations, just of units).
