    Some nice ones here-
    "These remarkable images show Libya during the Second World War as the Axis and Allies battled ferociously to win control of North Africa.
    Some of the most famous generals of the war, including American George Patton, Nazi Erwin Rommel and Britain's Bernard Montgomery, led their armies into a brutal desert conflict that lasted from 1940 and 1943.
    Some of the harrowing shots reveal the devastation wrought after a daylight raid on Tripoli.
    Others show roofless buildings barely standing in Tobruk and an Italian soldier lying dead in Derna after a British artillery strike.
    Happier photographs capture Lieutenant William Marx of New York City, attached to the public relations office of the US Army 9th Air Force, painting in the streets of Tripoli.
    Others show a soldier soaping his face as he enjoys a mobile bath unit and an Arab assistant to an RAF armourer pleased with his head-dress made out of ammunition for a Kittyhawk. "
