Since April they faced over 1000 air raids artillery and tank assaults while launching counter offensives. Corporal Edmondson earned the first Australian V C of the war for a bayonet counterattack that saved a comrade though he died. The siege preserved a vital North African harbour and allowed Britain to reinforce Egypt. The perimeter sprawls about 25 miles around Tobruk on a peninsular base with underground Italian pill boxes and daily life includes sea bathing cricket and regular mail.

Commonwealth grant to states for marginal wheat regions plan
The Commonwealth government approves a £500,000 program for four marginal wheat areas in New South Wales and South Australia. It funds restructuring to shift farmers from wheat toward other farming, transferring many wheat growers to marginal districts while preserving partial holdings. The scheme aims to boost farming viability as wheat wealth declines. If you know anything about troop movements blame the one who told you. Don’t let anyone blame you for talking.
