Egypt 4 of 6
By Alamein, the acquisition crew worked near the most
extensive uncleared
minefield
remaining from World War II.
While we were there, the mine-clearing contractors found
around 6 anti-personnel mines and 3 anti-tank mines.
If we had gone ahead with the proposed survey extension,
they would've had numbers in the hundreds. It was eerie
to think that, when picking up military junk collected here,
our crews might have been the first people to walk there in
over 50 years !
