Unnecessary sentence?

Ritchie had the bad luck to hold his highest command during the earliest phases of the war, when British fortunes were at their lowest ebb. The Eighth Army, in North Africa, were the only British land force engaging the Germans anywhere in the world.

Do we really need the second sentence? How does it add information, or, for that matter, even support the statement in the first statement? Bazuz (talk) 19:00, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
