Description
View across the harbour of the town. Note the clouds of smoke from the bombed oil tankers and the cruiser San Giorgio. Members of 2/2nd Battalion camped later just past the area of bombardment. `B' Company guarded the wharf with the crane and were bombed every night and morning. The Hotel Tobruk can be seen on the left. (Original housed in AWM Archive Store)
