Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te marama o Tihema 1940, hei waahanga o te British Western Desert Force i Ihipa, ko te 7th RTR kei roto i nga taaka hiko Matilda me te tautoko i te 11th Indian Infantry Brigade o te 4th Indian Infantry Division. I whakaekehia e te puhi te Italian "Maletti Group" i te puni o Nibeiwa. I tautoko hoki te 7th RTR i te whakaeke a te 11th Brigade ki nga tuunga Itari i nga puni o Tummar. I whakatutukihia ēnei whakaeke i te wā o ngā wāhanga tuatahi o Operation Compass. I whai wāhi hoki te rārangi ki ngā whakaeke angitu ki te rohe o Itari
Bardia i te wā o taua pakanga.
