Page 10: drawing of Tobruk fighting by Jack “Dan” Daniel. Captioned “Tobruk, August 12, 1941”. Shows two soldiers wielding guns in a structure (made of bricks?) with a shovel and other camp detritus visible on the ground before it (bottles, boxes, one labeled MRC or MRO). One of the guns has a strap; the other seems to be mounted, and has bullet casings falling away from it. In the air are fighter planes and circular scribbles that might represent bombs or smoke. The soldier with the gun with a strap has his mouth open.

2/3 page, reproduced ink or dark pencil drawing.
