Overview:
The 6th Australian Division had commenced its attack on the 30,000 odd man Tobruk garrison at 0540 hours. Preceded by a bombardment, the 16th Brigade forced a gap through the fortified outer perimeter through which the 19th Brigade moved to exploit towards the Bardia/El Adem road junction, which it did in spite of running into well-emplaced machine guns and dug-in tanks. It was now midday and the Brigade sent three of its battalions northeast towards Solaro and Ft. Pilastrino, hoping to find and destroy the Italian headquarters. The 2/8 proceeded along the escarpment and suffered heavy losses from more dug-in tanks which it had to assault with grenades and anti-tank rifles, after which it blundered headlong into the Italian counterattack.Attacker: Italian (Elements of the 31st and 32nd Reggimento "Guardia a Frontieri")
Defender: Australian (Elements of C and HQ Companies, 2/8 Battalion and of the 6th Divisional Cavalry; Elements of the 3rd Royal Horse Artillery and of the 7th RTR)
