- Summary:
-
Colour lithographic poster celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Seige of Tobruk (April-December 1941), a lengthy confrontation in Libya, North Africa, during the Western Desert Campaign of the Second World War. Tobruk was strategically important as it has a deep and protected harbour, making it an excellent place to supply a desert campaign. In January 1941, Australian and British forces captured Tobruk from the Italians and the town became their garrison. The poster features an image of men of the Australian army at the edge of the harbour with oil tanks burning in the background. With the Italian defences penetrated, the troops secured the town and forced the surrender of the Italians.
