"Aussie Diggers"
During the
North African Campaign of 1940 -41, British and Australian forces
fought to drive the Italian Army out of
their strongholds along the Mediterranean
coast. One such battle against the Italian garrison at Bardia during
Jan 3-5, 1941. Here Australian
"diggers" from the 2/1st Batallion are preparing for the assault.
In the
background, Bren carriers and infantry are moving through the barbed wire
perimeter which
has been opened up earlier with explosives.
