Retreaing to Tobruk the division withstood, with the support of British armoured, artillery and machineâ"gun units, several assaults and a long siege, and maintained a threat on the flank of Rommelâs long line of communications to the Egyptian frontier.Before the siege ended the division was withdrawn by sea but in the succeeding year it was recalled to the front as Rommelâs forces were approaching the El Alamein defences, only 70 miles from Alexandria.

The interâ"governmental differences concerning the 9th Divisionâs withdrawal from Tobruk and its later return to Australia are also related.An appendix recounts the experiences of Australian prisoners of war in Europe.
