==Background== The box was built by men of the [[Western Desert Force]] (Lieutenant-General [[Richard O'Connor]]) as a tented camp, with offices, said to be bomb-proof dug under sand dunes, as a temporary billet for troops taking part in operations against the [[Italian invasion of Egypt]] in 1940 by the Italian [[Tenth Army (Italy)|10th Army]]. O'Connor opened his headquarters on 8 June. An airfield was a short distance inland and served as the headquarters of the [[Desert Air Force]] (Air Commodore [[Raymond Collishaw]]).{{sfn|Pitt|2001|pp=43β44}}
