Our Grandfather
This website was created to tell you the facts and true events that we learnt from our Grandfather about the Rats of Tobruk. These people risked their lives in the dry heat of the sandy desert, tunneling for protection from enemy bombardment. Some who came back were disturbed by their experiences. Many couldn’t talk about it and had nightmares. There were many things my Grandfather could never talk about.
This website is for the memory of our loving grandfather, which we started shortly after he left us when we were 12 and 13.
