Hello
I've been interested in these L detachment raids on Gazala and Tmimi for a while now.
In the books I've read it suggests that of the 50 or so men that took part in the raids, over 30 never returned. However I can only find reference to 5 men as to actually being killed on those nights. Is this the full list or were there others? Were the rest taken POW?
Also - in the books I've read I've found the accounts of the raids to differ - which to my mind is understandable - but I wondered if there any clear sources of information out there about this?
Thanks,
Sam
