King’s Sutton War Memorial 

This memorial was originally in the Graveyard which is about 500 metres from the village centre.  In 2009 it was moved to the centre of the village and rebuilt near the entrance to the churchyard. This photo was taken when it was in its original place close to the war graves but outside the village.

supplemented with a few Ds, were transferred to bombing duties and the Squadron undertook night raids.

General Wavell launched the first British offensive in North Africa on 9 December 1940 against the Italian forces in Egypt.  Sidi Barrani was captured on 10 December and by the end of the month British and Dominion troops entered Libya.
The plan was for the 7th Armoured Division to lead 4th Indian Division and 16th British Infantry Brigade through the 20 mile wide Enba gap between Sofafi (to the south) and Nibeiwa Camp to sweep west and mask Sidi Barrani and the three camps, from the
main Italian army, while the 4th Indian with 7th RTR in Matildas went north to overrun the camps and the town.
The 4th Armoured Brigade crossed the coast road on 9 December and 4th Indian Division attacked Tummar camps and isolated
Sidi Barrani. At Maktila, Selby Force took the town with naval
support from HMS Terror and HMS Aphis.
The 2nd Battalion Cameron Highlanders and 1st/6th Rajputana Rifles soon cracked the defences at Nibeiwa; swept through the camp with bayonet and taking over 4,000 prisoners. 7th RTR then advanced north to assist 5th Indian Brigade in its assault on a large encampment at Tummar West.  The first attack by the Royal Fusiliers was pinned down by enemy fire, but 3rd/1st Punjabis managed to break through the defences and the camp was taken with a further 2,000 prisoners.  
The 4th/6th Rajputana Rifles drove off an Italian relief column of tanks and lorried infantry. The attack on Tummar was reinforced by the New Zealand drivers of 4 Motor Company,  who having borrowed rifles, charged at the head of the British infantry with cries of "Come on, you Pommie bastards".
10 December, saw the surrender of the dispirited and isolated Italian garrisons of Tummar East and Point 90.  By the evening, over 5,000 prisoners had been taken and, with 7th Hussars cutting of their retreat.  In total some 20,000 prisoners were
captured, with the British suffering about 700 losses.
The offensive  continued until February by which time El Agheila, half way across Libya and well on the way to Tripoli, has been reached.
