The image captures a significant moment in history - the RAF Royal Air Force cup final held in Tripoli amidst the backdrop of desert battles.

Both teams had valiantly participated in the advance from El Alemain, making this final all the more meaningful. As we gaze at the picture, our attention is drawn to the victorious captain proudly clutching the coveted cup while being cheered on by his elated teammates. Their faces radiate with joy and triumph after their hard-fought victory on that memorable day - March 10th, 1943.
