Ceremonies have been held in northern Egypt to mark the 70th anniversary of the battle of El-Alamein, a turning point in the Second World War. Veterans, most now in their 90s, from Britain, Australia, New Zealand and other wartime allies, gathered in the Commonwealth war cemetery on the edge of what's the desert battlefield. The second battle El-Alamein represented the first big ally to land victory after three years of German dominance. Winston Churchill described the task not the beginning of the end but the end of the beginning.

埃及北部举行纪念二战转折点的阿拉曼战役70周年庆典。来自英国、澳大利亚、新西兰和其他战时盟国的老兵—其中多已90多岁—会聚英联邦国殇墓园，这里就是沙漠战场的边缘。在德国占三年上风后，第二次阿拉曼战役象征着第一大盟友的胜利。温斯顿·丘吉尔称此次战役不是开始的结局，而是结局的开始。
