Summary[edit]

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Note handwritten by General Wavell on 23 April 1941 with an original sketch of the idea of the "Sunshield" cover, used to conceal tanks in Operation Bertram for the battle of El Alamein, 1942.
Author or copyright owner	Archibald Wavell, 1st Earl Wavell
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: Note from Commander-in-Chief Middle East Immediate scan of Rick Stroud, Phantom Army of Alamein, Bloomsbury 2012
Date of publication	23 April 1941
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Operation Bertram
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	This unique note with its crude sketch shows the original concept for the mimetic camouflage of tanks in the desert as trucks, and the remarkable source.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	None can exist, this shows the handwritten and hand-drawn original.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The image is small, and used only in this article.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	It is already published at much better resolution in the named source. The copyright owner is either Wavell's estate or more likely Crown Copyright, and in both cases commercial usage is unlikely.
Other information	If the copyright is Wavell's, then since he died on 24 May 1950 the document will become free on 24 May 2020.
