  Indian 3rd Motorized Brigade 
          The Brigade had only been recently transferred to this front and 
  was not complete.  During the campaign, the brigade was ordered to 
  defend Mechili against the Axis spearheads, despite an almost com-
  plete lack of heavy weapons and missing two cavalry regiments.  
  After refusing three different surrender demands, the brigade fought 
  a stiff action before being mostly destroyed.  Their stand bought 
  valuable time for the defenders of Tobruk to arrive and prepare.
