Description
This is a celebration of the 9th Australian Divisions heroic defense of Tobruk. These men, with little armour or artillery, took on and held the Afrika Korps, forcing Rommel to retreat.Note: the gun is waaaay oversized and the head far too small (I tried to do an angle but it all went wrong).

The Gun is the Lee Enfield .303, the rifle used by almost all British, Empire and Commonwealth soldiers (the exception being a carbine, the no.4 or no.5-can't remember- that was used in burma.)
Cheers.
