Bobby the Tobruk Dog Joins the Army Team
In mid February at Tobruk a stray Italian dog becomes Bobby, adopted by the 2nd Battalion soldiers. He endears himself through mischief, tugging trousers, stealing socks, riding on shoulders, and sharing tent life, finally becoming an iconic unit mascot as they move from desert camps to Greece.

Bobby the Army Dog Follows Tobruk Campaign Homeward Bond
A dog named Bobby shares the hardships of a battalion through Greece and retreat to Kalamata. Smuggled aboard a ship by Fatty the cook, Bobby earns a place with the Coy Bn A.LF, parade duty, and a red dog tag. He survives by popular sentiment as orders to eject dogs arise.
