The Baggush Box was a British Army field fortification built in the Western Desert during the World War II Western Desert Campaign. It was constructed by O'Connor's men to help repel the Italian invasion of Egypt in 1940 under Graziani. It was located near Maarten Baggush, to the east of Marsa Matruh
Famous quotes containing the word box:
“A box of teak, a box of sandalwood,
A brass-ringed spyglass in a case,
A coin, leaf-thin with many polishings,
Last kingdom of a gold forgotten face,
These lie about the room....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
