Eighth Army

The Eighth Army was a unit of the British Army which fought in North Africa in World War II. Sam Bishop's great-grandfather served as soldier in the Eighth Army, fighting in battlefronts such as El-Alamein, Tobruk, and Gazala. Following the war, he would regale the young Sam Bishop with war stories of his time there, inspiring him to eventually join UNIT. (AUDIO: Earthfall)
