This page shows some photos and audiovisual links to sites about The Defence of Tobruk.
NEW: AWM article on "Medals of a Rat".
Also look for Rats Of Tobruk Plaque and the German-originated Surrender leaflet - both are in the Memorabilia Section on the front page of this site. Also go to Rats of Tobruk Memorial site that shows the obelisk that was erected on ANZAC Parade in Canberra in 1983. The site shows a photo and the inscriptions on the monument, and mentions a time capsule that was buried in 17 April 1991. An excellent way to learn about the Australian participation in the Defence of Tobruk
