A page from my fathers Second World War Autograph book

 

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 this plaque from the Rats of Tobruk Association.

Cannon & Barracks - Christmas Island, Indian Ocean, Australian Territory.

 

The plaque needs no explanation!!

We learned more from a three-minute record, baby,

than we ever learned in school

Tonight I hear the neighborhood drummer sound

I can feel my heart begin to pound

You say you're tired and you just want to close your eyes

and follow your dreams down

 

the matt nathanson cover of this song came up on shuffle, and i fell in loveee with it.

 

this picture isn't the most icredible ever, either. i'm just too excited... sorrrry

 

it looks a bit better here...?
