Bardia

For the Persian king, see Smerdis of Persia.

Bardia is a seaport in eastern Libya. During World War II, it was the site of a major Italian fortification, commanded by General Annibale "Electric Whiskers" Bergonzoli, so nicknamed because of his spiked beard. The town changed hands several times before it was finally taken by the British Army in 1942.
