Maybe then but definately not now.

We must end all wars and remember those that fought in the previous ones.

He is all of them and he is one of us.

Memories

Very apt that a lecture on something we should call a massive disaster should be sponsored by Boeing and have in its title the false dichotomy "Choice or Accident"

i am from Tobrok

Proud to be Aussie.

This is the first time I had ever seen challenged, the claim of Monash being promoted to general staff in the field. Odd for an historian to provide no citation of evidence.

It's called Burak. A rice wine.

Lest we forget

So Brave, Sincere Thanks from the Rhondda in the Valleys, Wales. We All Owe So Much to All the Heroes.

Why is the War Memorial in Canberra put restrictions on visitingthe Memorial.,like booking ad a time limit of your time when visiting to two hours?

In 2017 I was in France, attending the ANZAC Day Dawn Service, after breakfast I did a tour of many of the local battlefields. After lunch I arrived at the Adelaide Cemetery, after some searching I found the grave where this man had laid for some 75 years. Very moving to stand and remember this man. RIP cobber.

My Grandfather Harry Mills was with the Imperial Corps, hospitalised twice with wounds to head and both times returned to the front line with the ICC, finished the war with an MC and Bar, mentioned in dispatches, congratulation notes from the commander of the ICC General Smith VC and also by the commander of the Australian forces General Harry Chavel, Harry at the end of the war was a Major, he was 22 years old.

Brave and strong men. Australia would be even better if we hadn’t lost them so early in their lives. God bless what a sacrifice

My Grandfather was a Rat of Tobruk. He kept an Atlas with his photos and trinkets from his training and deployments. Hed tell us about his travels but He didn't like to talk about it. Never knew that he was a Rat of Tobruk until my father told me. Lest We Forget

My grandfather was a prisoner of war building that rail road its sad I am trying to find photos of him he was in the Australian Army

My Great Grandfather Was A Rat Of Tobruk, He Served In The 2/3 Field Regiment As A Sergeant. I'm Thankful For His And All Those Brave Diggers Who Fought To Protect Us And Our Way Of Life. 🇦🇺 🇳🇿

Arthur William Francis. Anti tank regimemt, English Army. Rat Of Tobruk #dustyamatuers #nosurrender RIP Grandad. Forever in my heart

Racist Lies!!!

Amians was a combined effort by British and all Dominion forces, not just Australian.

As a libyan

oh boy i love using my free time to watch a documentary because the teacher couldnt be bothered to use class time to play it

Hamel was supposed to be a battle that would preserve the infantry from facing full frontal charges by the use of tanks artillery and aircraft. The battle was a resounding success but! Why were there so many Australians killed. Out of c1,400 casualties c 800, died, this is strange. The general rule in battle is 3 to 4 to one wounded to one killed. At Hamel that rule was reversed. In that sense it was surely a failure.

Nice. Where is any information about Poles in Tobruk?

I love the book KING RAT from James Clavell...all about the Changi prison in Singapore!

My neighbour was a rat never died just like one

If you would like to know more about Jack Edmonson and John Johnson read Pete FitzSimons' "Chronicles of World War ll'. Aussies are bloody good fighters, us Kiwis taught you well :)

So moving. Beautiful done. We Will Remember Them. Lest We Forget.🇦🇺

Such wonderful footage.Both men were to receive decorations and awards later in life.Hubert Wilkins as part of his explorations.Frank Hurley continued as a photographer.His service in New Guinea in World War Two ,as a war correspondent and an acting medic earned him a posthumous award for his bravery .( From memory I think he died there in New Guinea).Frank also had a brother who was a Franciscan priest.

...Editing?! Let's lose the first minute! I thought my computer had frozen!! Otherwise, great vid!

I never knew our country made that much war propaganda or our own. Sure as hell worked

My grandfather was at tobruk. Not sure if he was a rat. He got the last hospital ship out before the main siege. He never said alot about the war. The Australian war memorial wanted his story as the last of a off books group. From what I understood of the conversation as a teen. He yelled from the other end of the house. It ends with me! Near the end he would dream, on his chair on the lounge. He would chuckle and laugh. Then yell. Germans, their heads pop like watermelons. Was a gentle man. So strong and steadfast. Never marched on Anzac Day. He did his duties and moved on to be a great grandfather and loved by so many.

GUIVARRA, Joseph. Private, QX7962, 2/9th Australian Infantry Battalion, 5th Reinforcements. Born 26 November 1918, Thursday Island, Queensland. Enlisted 29 June 1940. He was my grandfather. First fought in Borneo, Before being sent to Tobruk as a Reinforcement, soon becoming a Rat of Tobruk. He was also one of a small handful of Torres Strait Islanders to be a Rat of Tobruk. He served for one-third of the pay as the avarage/normal soilders due to being a Torres Strait Islander. He was wounded by a bullet twice. After the conflict in tobruk and when he got back to Australia, 2 weeks later he was shipped off to PNG to fight the Jap's and defend Australia. He saw the end of the war and become a pearl diver in the Torres Straits working along side the Japanese on the pearl boats. The Jap's taught him there martial arts between dives to pass the time. He got the bends once while diving and almost lost his life. He later become a profesional boxer and moved to Cairns QLD where he trained Lionel Rose the boxer under the family home before Lionel become famous. He was also one of the leading elders to help fight for the right for Indiginous Australians to vote in Queensland. His name Thomas (Joe) Guivarra is on the Mackay Rats Of Tobruk memorial stone in QLD which was erected in 2000 - 2001.

Impressionante a destruição e SUMIÇO de vídeos originais.O You tube se transformou em uma pilha de estrume. Não há nada que não possa piorar.

All to make the rich richer..the Australian government used these kids like sheep to fill there own pockets..i could not imagine fighting for a country that washed its hands of u the second u got home...

England. A certain comment about our Queen's death (just 1 guess what country) said about an Australian comment. She's not your Queen, what's all the fuss ? Oh, those wide open spaces surrounded by teeth. Our Unknown Soldier is buried the same in Westminster Abbey. I have not seen war (I'm77) thank God. I'm also the only male member of my family not to have been wounded or killed by war since before Waterloo. My Dad was first into a foxhole in WW2 with 3 oiks on top of him. They wriggled out the way of a large bomb splinter. Gawd, did he have a scar on his bum. Sergeant, RAF Halfpenny Green (not Halfpenny Field as in the film). Two days before his death, he told me where a Rolls-Royce Merlin was buried. It was not on 'the books' and had to be 'lost'. He was frightened they might put him in prison. They found it, not in bad shape. All the best Australia.

Thanks for sharing Bernie. Heartfelt.

The reason I joined the Army was because of these men.

I hope you all have a 'good' Remembrance Day/Armistice Day this year. Beautiful video.

It was not the Gallipoli campaign it was the Dardenelles Campaign with hundreds of thousand British French and Belgium troops.

My Step greatuncle was also rat off Tobruk and he serviced in North Africa and in the second battle off El Alamein he was a part off the 2/17 Australian infantry battalion and he was a 25 year old lance-corporal he was killed in Paupa new guniea

Grace Wilson is my role model.

Not gonna lie australians are one of the most strongest soldiers on ww2 even here in Philippines when a japanese imperial army surrendered and ask what country soldier is the hardest to fought on before. They keep saying australians.

I found the Q&A the most interesting part

Thanks pop ( Fred Klimo)

My grandad died here Nugget. Les Davidson. Lest We Forget.

We fought, we died, we held out. LEST WE FORGET
