Welcome to our site that commemorates the brave Australian soldiers who held out against a much larger German force for 250 days holding back the advance of Rommel in the Middle East.

Our Grandfather was one of the Australian soldiers who proudly adopted the German name for the diggers - proud to be called a Rat of Tobruk.
