To mark ANZAC day, Adam chats with a group of the Rats of Tobruk. In 1941, a small force of Australian soldiers was called upon to help defend a port town called Tobruk on the coast of Libya. When German forces surrounded Tobruk, subjecting it to ground assaults, shelling and air raids, Australian soldiers took shelter underground. The Nazis labelled the Diggers as 'rats', but the Australian soldiers embraced the term as badge of honour.
