Montgomery
There were several British Generals in North Africa. In 1940-43 British forces were commanded successively by Generals Wavell, Auchinleck and Alexander, under the last of whom Gen Montgomery commanded the 8th Army.
Might you be referring to Erwin Rommel in North Africa in 1942 in the third and final battle of El Alamein, 60 miles south of Alexandria? The British General who defeated Rommel was General Montgomery.
During World War II, the Axis forces in North Africa were defeated by two different Allied forces, one taking offensive action from the east and one taking offensive action from the west. The former was composed mostly of British troops, while the latter was mostly American. They met in Tunisia in early 1943 before delivering the knock-out blow to the Germans and Italians in May of that year.
The 2 major British leaders in the victory in North Africa were Harold Alexander and Bernard Montgomery. In addition, Dwight Eisenhower was also involved. Historical documents are blurry on who is given credit, as the two primary sources of such documents are either British or American, and both countries wish to give their own leaders the greatest acclaim.
