Image description: Victory Roll into Tunis: 7th Armoured and 4th Indian Divisions plus 201st Guards Brigade, 9 May 1943. Oil on board by Cyril Mount, 2009 circa. The Allies entered Tunis on 7 May 1943 after surrounding thousands of retreating German and Italian troops. Soldiers from Lieutenant-General Bernard Montgomery's Eighth Army had pushed westward and linked up with the Allied forces commanded by General Dwight Eisenhower. The artist, Cyril Mount, was formerly a captain in the Royal Artillery and took part in the First Armys advance on Tunis. 7th Armoured Division, 4th Indian Division and 201st Guards Brigade had spent most of the North African campaign with Eighth Army but in April 1943 they were transferred to First Army command. The latter formation had landed in Algeria the previous November.
