Ibrahim begins his tale, “My heart skipped on the evening of October 4, 1973, when Lieutenant Colonel Fath El-Bab Zainhom, the chief of staff of our Amphibious Battalion, surrounded by all the battalion officers, opened a large yellow envelope sealed with a secured red Army seal. He had kept it in the battalion safe until that evening.

“From the large envelope, he pulled out smaller envelopes, which he handed to each officer. I opened mine. It contained my Suez Canal crossing plan for the platoon unit I was prepared to command in my service with the Sixty-Seventh Amphibious Battalion of the Fifteenth Bridges Brigade stationed before September 1973 north of Cairo in the Nile River delta.”
