TEXT: 2nd South African Infantry Division 
   
    November 17, 1941 
         The 2nd South African Infantry Division served most of Operation Crusader as a reserve unit pro-
  viding security in the rear.  In the late part of the campaign, it was used to help reduce Axis units iso-
  lated near the frontier.  It later served in the 2nd garrison of Tobruk (with disastrous consequences !).
