My Hero. My Dad, Tony Browne was a Desert Rat in 1941 in Tobruk, Africa, serving as an anti-tank gunner, he fought against Rommel. The gun was hit and he was wounded and everyone else on the gun was killed. He continued to fight on with a damaged gun. Eventually he was captured and managed to escape back to friendly lines. He continued to fight through the war including El Alamein. Thanks to all that have served and are serving today.
