هل تتذكر متى انضممت إلى X؟ نعم أتذكر! #الذكرى السنوية_لانضمامي_إلى_X

[Mohammed El-Senoussi @CPofLibya]

في مثل هذا اليوم العزيز في ذاكرة وطننا ، التاسع من أغسطس من عام 1940 ميلادية ، نجحت إرادة آبائنا وأجدادنا وجهود الوطنيين المخلصين في تأسيس نواة الجيش الوطني الليبي .

هذا الصرح الذي وُضعت لبناته وأساسه خلال فترة عصيبة، ناضلت خلالها القيادات الوطنية الشريفة تحت راية الحركة السنوسية ، وفي وقت شهد تقلبات الحرب العالمية الثانية ؛ من أجل الحصول على استقلال بلادهم ، رفقة أخوانهم من كافة القبائل والمكونات من جميع أنحاء الوطن .

فخرنا بدور هذه المؤسسة العريقة, التي استمرت منذ يوم تأسيسها في تحمل المهام المنوطة بها من حماية للوطن ومقدراته ؛ لم يتأثر بسبب جنوح بعض أبنائها عن العقيدة التي تحكم مسارها، واختيارهم الانقلاب على مبادئها، ولكن أبناءنا من ضباط وضباط صف وجنود انتصروا في نهاية المطاف لاعادة راية الاستقلال الى مكانها الذي تستحق وأوفوا بعهد الآباء والأجداد .

سيكون الجيش الوطني الليبي دائماً وكما أراده مؤسسوه ومنتسبوه ، سلاحاً يذود عن حوض الوطن وينتصر لارادة أهل هذا البلد الكريم .

حفظ الله #ليبيا وشعبها الكريم
#الجيش_الليبي

The type that lost out to the legendary An-2 biplane, the Soviet Yak-16 (NATO reporting name 'Cork'), a light transport aircraft of 1947. Despite using a more 'modern looking' construction (if you ignore the huge gun turret!), it was felt that the An-2 design was more versatile.

But what I can tell you is that three of the next four episodes will be the climax of our South Notts Hussars story. This time we join them fighting their way through NW Europe before the occupation of Germany - and home! More news after relaunch!

Allied forces in North Africa are launching Operation Crusader: surprise attack on Germans & Italians, aiming to smash into Libya & break siege of Tobruk.

They were some of the toughest Australians we have seen - the Rats of Tobruk, who helped save World War II. There are just a handful still alive, but one will make an important trip to represent his mates on Anzac Day. https://t.co/3s0lBaATNm #AnzacDay #7News

Polish and Australian soldiers trench digging, Tobruk 1941

Not every unit had picks and shovels:

"The men fashioned picks out of old automobile springs and began to dig day and night.

Finally, every soldier had his deep shelter where the devil himself could not reach them."

@KarlJames_1945 @AustralianArmy @beavis_jordan @AWMemorial @SWWresearch Congratulations Karl. Does it mean you can visit Tobruk? I was lucky enough to do so in 2007, researching this. My old friend, the late John Latimer, has also managed to visit for his @OspreyBooks Campaign series title on the same subject a few years before.

#Tsingtao80 @HMSDefender the 2nd of 4 names shared between the modern & the old flotilla, was lost on the 11th of July 1941 to an air attack, whilst returning from escorting a convoy to Tobruk – it was a lucky attack, the bombs going off close enough underwater to break her back.

The old cruiser S. Giorgio was stationed in Tobruk in 1940 to act as a floating AA defense for the harbour and during the same year was responsible for shooting down the plane carrying Italo Balbo, Governor of Libya.

@mototingle @YeahbutNahbut @Jazzyblue_7 Here's some interesting old photos

This is Captain Carlo Montu, the first ever causality of air warfare.

He was flying a single-engine bi-plane at a height of just 18 feet on a bombing run over Tobruk in 1912 when a libyan solider shot him in the leg.
