ITALIANS PAY
"AUSSIES" RESOURCEFUL GARRISON OF TOBRUK / Making camouflage paint from Italian coffee, old tomato sauce and (lour paste, is cited by the BBC London Letter as an example of the resourcefulness of the British and Australian soldiers of the garrison of Tobrnk. "They can put their hands to anything from building a complete xicav tank from the battered remains of several damaged ones to making rubber soled shoes out cf old motor tyres for silent patrol Avork," it slates. '"When 'Peeping Tom,' the German long-range gnn, knocks the roof off yet another house, the Aussies in Tobruk say they like fresh air. They are much more annoyed by the hungry desert (lies and mosquitoes than by German and Italian guns and dive-bomb-ers."
