Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I hurihia te reimana ki nga taakaha i te tau 1937 ana i muri mai ka whakangungu i Cairo ka hoatu ki a raatau he painga nui. Ahakoa i whakaaro pea ratou kua ngaro ratou i Ihipa, i te wa i uru atu ai a Itari ki te pakanga i te 10 o Pipiri 1940, ka tere te whakaaro ki o raatau hinengaro. I hangaia e ratou tetahi waahanga o te 7th Armoured Brigade i te 7th Armoured Division, ka uru atu ki te 8th me te 11th Hussars. I te 14 o Hune 1940, ko te 7th Hussars, me tetahi kamupene o te King's Royal Rifle Corps me te puhiko o te 4th Royal Horse artillery i mau ki a Fort Capuzzo, i te wa i mau ai te 11th Hussars ki La Maddalena. I whai wāhi rātau ki te Pakanga o Sidi Barrani i te Hakihea 1940 me te
Te Pakanga o Bardia i te marama o Hanuere 1941. I hangaia e Hitler te Afrika Korps i raro i te whakahau a General Erwin Rommel ki te whakakaha i nga Itariana: i te Paenga-whawha o te tau 1941, i tapahia nga hoia a Allied i Tobruk e nga Tiamana me nga Itariana engari i te Pipiri o te tau 1941 i rite ano te 7th Armored Division mo te pakanga hei waahanga o te Operation Battleaxe, i te whiwhi i nga tanki hou me nga kaimahi taapiri. Katahi ka timata a Rommel ki te pana i nga Allies ki Ihipa. I awhina te reimana ki te whakaroa i te neke whakamua a Rommel ahakoa ko te rangatira rangatira a Lieutenant Colonel Freddie Byass me etahi atu i mate i te Pakanga o Sidi Rezegh i te marama o Noema 1941.
