Italian prisoners
Description
Showing some of the thousands of Italians who surrendered to the 6th Australian Division at Tobruk, on their way back to the Prisoner-of-War cage. Over 25,000 prisoners were taken on the first day and such numbers placed a great strain on the supply and transport systems on the army, Libya.
