In the annals of history, few tales resonate with the spirit of resilience and bravery quite like that of the Siege of Tobruk during World War II. Amidst the vast deserts of North Africa, Australian forces, under the command of General Sir Leslie Morshead, stood as a formidable barrier against the advancing Axis powers. The siege, initially planned for eight weeks, endured for a grueling eight months, earning the Australian troops the enduring moniker of the 'Rats of Tobruk'. This nickname, born from German propaganda, encapsulated their indomitable spirit and their ability to persevere under the harshest conditions, including the scorching heat and relentless attacks.
