Coments
The author enlisted in the Royal Artillery as a Regular in May 1946 when he was just under 18 and after training, was posted to 2 Field Regt RA in Palestine (soon afterwards re-numbered 41 Field Regt) where he arrived in March 1947. From then until he left Palestine with his Regiment when the United Nations Mandate to Britain to govern the country expired, he was exposed almost daily to the violence and verbal abuse which were experienced by all members of the British forces there, many of whom had taken part in the liberation of Jews held in Nazi concentration camps in 1945 and were now themselves being called "British Nazi bastards", an exhibition of gross ingratitude which was hard to take. Since his retirement from civilian employment, the author has spent many years in studying the role of the British forces and their terrorist opponents in Palestine, and has now written this book both as a memorial to all British servicemen who now lie in the military cemeteries of Ramleh and Khayat Beach, (a full list of whom appears in its pages) and a reminder, (if any were needed) that the terrorist leaders of yesterday more often than not become the honoured politicians of today.
