Some Australians being looked after at the New Zealand hospital after the Battle of Bardia. Most of those wounded were not seriously hurt and the spell in hospital is something of a holiday after the weeks spent in the desert. Identified, seated on the extreme right wearing a sling on his left arm is: NX11569 Private (Pte) John Robin Greaves, 2/2nd Battalion, who was accidentally wounded on 25 December 1940 at Fort Capuzzo, outside Bardia. He left hospital to rejoin the battalion in the Greek campaign, where he was captured by the Germans. Escaping from a prison train, he went through Greece to Turkey, where he was interned before rejoining the battalion to take part in the New Guinea campaigns of 1942 and 1944-45.
