Regrettably, we don't have any details of what all the other units and sub-units of 2nd Support Group in and around Mersa Brega left behind. I doubt 1TH were the only ones to lose a few vehicles.
I wonder if out friend Mr hardware has realised that that only represents the 1TH losses or whether he thinks it's for all of 2SpGp?
