| | During the [[Second Battle of El Alamein]], the 10th Bersaglieri Battalion, although outnumbered and surrounded, played an important part in containing for several days the advance of the British 8th Army. The battle lasted several days, until with the arrival of German reinforcements, the attacking Australians withdrew.<ref>"These costly German attacks did succeed in restoring contact with the beleaguered 125th Panzergrenadier Regiment. 90th Light Division later praised the regiment and the Italian X Bersaglieri who clung to their posts even when 'surrounded on all sides, short of ammunition, food and water, unable to evacuate their many wounded; while withstanding 'attacks by an enemy superior in numbers and equipment'. During the morning, many of the German and Italian wounded were evacuated and more supplies brought into the salient."
