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:
“The idea that you can merchandise candidates for high office like breakfast cereal—that you can gather votes like box tops—is, I think, the ultimate indignity to the democratic process.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
