When the one great scorer comes..... May 1942
A page from my fathers Second World War Autograph book by Gunner G Rowlinson, 235 Heavy AA Battery, Royal Artillery, Middle East Force - 23 May 1942
My father was a Desert Rat and was part of the British Army's defence of Tobruk during the Second World War.
The siege and fierce fighting lasted for 241 hard fought days.
Tobruk was subject to repeated ground assaults and constant shelling and the term "Desert Rats" originated from Lord Haw -Haw in his broadcasts.
My father lost many friends during the long siege and battle for Tobruk.
He was very proud of his plaque from the Rats of Tobruk Association.
