To Officers and Men of Eighth Army ’ SPECIAL MESSAGE 1. The enemy is now attempting to break through our positions in order to reach CAIRO, SUEZ, and ALEXANDRIA, and to drive us from EGYPT. \ 2. The Eighth Army bars the way. It carries a great responsibility, and the whole future of the war will depend on how we carry out our task. 3. We will fight the enemy where we now stand; there will be NO WITHDRAWAL and NO SURRENDER. Every officer and man must continue to do his duty as long as he has breath in bis body. If each one of us does his duty, we cannot fail; the opportunity will then occur to take the offensive ourselves and to destroy once and for all the enemy forces now in EGYPT. 4. Into battle then, with stout hearts and with the determination ,to do our duty. And may God give us the victory. B. L Montgomery, Lieutenant-General.
