		As early as 1940 the British (including their 8th Army) were pitted against Erwin Rommel for control of North Africa, and while they suffered terrible setbacks in the desert these troubles seemed to help galvanize British resolve.
		Though famed British Field Marshal Montgomery is most often credited with leading the 8th Army to victory against the Germans, much of their fighting was done under a chap named Alexander who was relieved and replaced by Monty.

		My Dad did not leave the U.S. until the end of 1942, when he shipped out of San Francisco, traveled through Australia, New Zealand, and into Egypt, which would have probably been the beginning of 1943.
		I don't know the technical terminology for it, but somehow, he became attached to the 8th army at that time, and then proceeded across North Africa, and then into the invasion of Sicilay and Italy.
		I have no idea what U.S. Army unit he was with.
