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.

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.
