Thanks for the story, Kathy. Very interesting.

It's also a significant day in the battle of Tobruk - on the 13th November 1942, the British Army recaptured Tobruk after the battle of El Alamein.

The book "Tobruk" by Peter Fitzsimons is an absolutely fabulous read if you're interested. The "Rats of Tobruk" movie isn't bad either although their Aussie accents aren't the best
