Abstract
El Alamein Battles took place in the desert to the south of the railway station of El Alamein in 1942, they marked the climax of Hitler’s plan to wrest Egypt from the British. The result of those battles transferred the initiative back to the British and precipitated the collapse of Erwin Rommel’s Panzerarmee Afrika, forcing it into a long retreat across North Africa which eventually ended in its complete annihilation in Tunisia the following year. While there have been many studies on the Second World War and the events of El Alamein Battles in the Egyptian territory as one of the famous battles, there is a gap on linking these events with those who paid their lives for their countries and their war cemeteries. These fallen soldiers were buried in temporary minor cemeteries rapidly prepared, or in simple single graves in the battlefield. Through different field studies to the battlefield, a number of battlefield cemeteries were discovered; it was found that these battlefield war cemeteries were rapidly prepared; they were simple cemeteries; an area surrounded by low local stones borders which look like a wall to protect the cemetery from the desert sand. After the battle, the soldiers of the Allied forces like the Australian Imperial Force were gathered together into a common bivouac close to the Mediterranean; a British war cemetery was established, while the Axis fallen soldiers were recovered in two phases, the first one in 1943 when the British used the Italian prisoners of war to recover the bodies of their comrades, the second phase started with the arrival of Paolo Caccia-Dominioni to El Alamein in 1948. The Italian and German Governments decided to establish luxury cemeteries for their fallen soldiers. The Italians built their new cemetery at Quota 29 (Level 29), a mile east of the Italian Base at Quota 33, while the Germans built their cemetery at Quota 26, four kilometers to the east.
