Capture of Kufra (South Eastern Libya) and raids on South-Western Libya (1941)
Greetings Sylevien, do you have a reference for the edit on Capture of Kufra? Keith-264 (talk) 13:14, 15 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Hello Keith-264,


 * First of all, sorry for my poor English as I am French...


 * When I read the article "Capture of Kufra", I wondered where was the Kayouge meeting point where d'Ornano and ten Free French met Clayton′s LRDG patrols on 6 January 1941 before raiding the Fezzan South-Western region of Libya, far West from Kufra. My father, who is 88 and has well known these regions during the 40's had never heard of a town or village of this name. A research on the Web led me to the place of Kayouge Enneri Wadi which is quite close to the town of Zouar :

 * I presumed it was the good place because all the French raids towards South-Western Libya where effectively launched from the town of Zouar :

 * I guess that, because the spies, the French and the British needed a quiet meeting point as the Kayouge Enneri Wadi.


 * If you don't agree with my interpretation you can modify my note as you like, maybe by simply adding "The Kayouge meeting point might be the Kayouge Enneri Wadi etc..."


 * Regards
