Overview:
The Australian commander of the Tobruk garrison, Major General Leslie Morshead, was not content to rest on the laurels of his Easter victory against Rommel's first assault on the fortress. In response to a newspaper headline "Tobruk Can Take It," he is reported to have replied "We're not here to take it, we're here to give it!" Morshead's strategy moving forward was to contest the ground between the two sides' positions with aggressive patrolling and the occasional raid. One such raid sent a combined arms force of infantry, carriers, tanks and anti-tank guns against an Italian gun position on the reverse slope of a hill about a half-mile beyond the southwestern corner of the defensive perimeter. This Italian position faced Point 209, a low rise named Ras El Madauur and a key Australian defensive position, and its proximity was a threat. The raiding party's orders were simple: "Take out the Italians and destroy the guns."Attacker: Australian (4th Platoon(Carrier), 2/48th Battalion, 26th Australian Infantry Brigade and 7th Royal Tank Regiment with C Company, 2/48th Battalion)
Defender: Italian (Fabris Detachment, III Battalion, 8th Bersaglieri Regiment)
