Once a pleasant seaside locale favoured by Italian officers, by May 1941 when this photograph was taken, the beach at Tobruk was covered with the wreckage and detritus of war and it was the Australians who now occupied the area. Here three members of the 9th Division pose on the litter-strewn sand. (AWM 007473)
