This print captures a significant moment in history - the Italian rule over Derna coming to an end after 29 years, 3 months, and 14 days. The image showcases the bravery and determination of Australian troops as they advance towards Derna during the Second World War on 26th February 1941. The Italian occupation of Derna had been long-standing, but it was finally brought to an end by these courageous infantrymen. Their efforts marked a turning point in the North Africa campaign and contributed to the overall victory against Axis forces during World War Two. In this black-and-white snapshot, we witness soldiers marching forward with unwavering resolve amidst a backdrop of ruins and destruction.
