Enemy Ahead by David Pentland. [Original Painting]

North Africa, 18th November 1941. Italian Autoblinda armoured cars of Gen. Gambara's XX Mobile Corps trade shots with forward reconnaissance elements of the British 22nd Armoured Brigade, during the initial hours of Operation Crusader. Their quick withdrawal to report their contact would give the Italian main force a timely warning of the unexpected attack.
