For Palestine, read same for, ADEN, 1964/67, some 95 British military deaths, and some 510 military casualty's, some maimed. Hardly gets any mention, in either military history or civil media history.
Yes thanks for the info on thatDid your dad not mean the two pay corp Sgt's Clifford Martin and Mervyn Paice who where hanged by terrorist in 1947 and their bodies booby-trapped so rescurers were also in danger. The person responsible was the first prime minister of Irsael
The Problem with most post war operations by British Forces, is that the Administrations past and present, considered all these as "Empire Policing Emergency's", Palestine, Suez, Malaya, Cyprus, Aden, and so did not give the recognition they deserved, for the time served and losses sustained, to we, who were there, and the family's of those lost or hurt, the pain was not less than in an official War. I think you will find that the prime minister who served with the Israeli Terror Group "Irgun" 1947/1949, was Menachem Begin, 77/83, not David Ben Gurion, Israel's first Prime minister, but I stand to be corrected on this.
