Operation Cultivate
The withdrawal of 9th Division elements from Tobruk after they had been relieved by Allied forces was a successful event conducted under utmost secrecy, under the cover of darkness, and was achieved without incident.
Some idea of the magnitude of the withdrawal, codenamed "Cultivate", can be gained from the plans as set out in the official war diaries of
Australian units.
