Churchill returned to Cairo
Time: Monday Aug 17, 1942
Place: Cairo, Egypt
Details: While he was in Cairo in early August, Churchill decided to replace Field Marshal Auchinleck with Field Marshal Alexander as Commander-in-Chief of the Middle East Theatre. Command of the Eighth Army was given to General William Gott but he was killed only three days later and General Montgomery replaced him. Churchill returned to Cairo from Moscow on 17 August and could see for himself that the Alexander/Montgomery combination was already having an effect. He returned to England on the 21st, nine days before Rommel launched his final offensive.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
