the "Beja Badge"
Nice to find an account of Sidi Nsir!
Brig. William Douglas McNeill Graham, DSO, OBE, RA, who was C.O. 172nd Field Regiment at Sidi Nsir was my father in law. In the family medal box, we have discovered 2 specimen of the badges he had made.
The reason the "VC battery" never got the recognition it deserved was possibly due to the fact Monty and him were never in best terms. His army career ended in Palestine...
