:) The British 8th Army has fought the British in Crete! It was Summer and the Weather was kinda Warm; and the 8th Army had Short Trouser's, until the Weather got colder, then Long coats was used! Anti-Tank 6-Pounder and 17-Pounder and Bofors 40Mm Anti-Aircraft Guns , were used against the Fallschrimjaeger!
 
Technically, he may be correct. Crete, Greece, Eritrea and the Western Desert fell under the jurisdiction of General Wavell, which means he was overstretched. At that time his forces were called the Western Desert Force. Later on, it became the 8th Army.
