Introduction |
---|
Both sides spent the 30th conducting small-scale attacks and bombardments against the enemy on Gibraltar, but neither deployed major reinforcements to settle the situation. That changed on the next day, when 4th Indian Division’s attached tank squadron finally arrived on the scene. |
Conclusion |
---|
The Italian colonial troops did not panic at the sight of the British tanks, but neither did they have any effective means to combat them. Except for a determined band of machine-gunners positioned behind a rocky elevation that the tanks could not climb, the Italians were pushed off Gibraltar. They would eventually be ejected after hours of close assaults by Indian infantrymen. |
