The '''first''' Battle of ''Al-Alamein''' is the accepted name for a series of battles, held between July 1 and July 27, 1942, as part of the campaign in the Western Desert in World War II.  The campaign was conducted between the forces of the Axis powers under the command of Erwin Rommel, and the Eighth Army of the British Army under the command of Claude Auchinleck.  During the battle, the Eighth Army managed to stop the continued advance of the Axis forces into Egyptian territory at the fortified El Alamein line, about 100 kilometers from Alexandria, while inflicting heavy losses on Rommel's forces.  On the other hand, the Allied forces were unable to defeat the Axis forces and force them to retreat from the El Alamein line, even though they enjoyed a significant numerical and qualitative advantage over Rommel's forces, and they also suffered heavy losses.
