Yes. Auchinleck was relieved after being defeated by Rommel at the Battle of Gazala in May/June 1942. While he did stop Rommel at the First Battle of El Alamein, Winston Churchill believed that a new commander was needed to take on Rommel.

Thank you. Wasn’t the issue Auchinleck’s failure to take command personally? Its been a while, but I seem to recall Churchill being rather pissed about this.
