Default Re: What do you think of the Siege of Tobruk

A bit surprised there tomcat.

Just about every account of Anzac's from british side has been of praise. Their commanders were held in high regard, the only friction I know of was that the commonwealth commanders could 'phone home' if they were not pleased with the orders that they received. The other bit is betwen Churchill and the Aussie PM regarding the Aussies wanting back some of their divisions for defence of the land of Oz. Churchill talked to Roosevelt who in turn agreed to aid the Australians. Churchill ,in his memoirs, pointed out that the Aussies were a key to the success in their repective areas.
