Sky News host Alan Jones says the Rats of Tobruk today hold an important place within the ranks of our returned servicemen. "There are only 17 of the 14,000 Rats still with us. One of them is Ernie Walker at 105," Mr Jones said. Mr Jones spoke of the Rats of Tobruk as well as the life of Ernie Walker. "We honour people like Ernie Walker, one of the last living Rats of Tobruk ... which prompts the question, where would we be without heroes like Ernie?"
