If,
like me, you wondered what we, the British Army, were doing
there in Palestine , I have found a very interesting and informative Web
Site, well worth a visit:

Email
me YOUR story:

My
story is based on fact, but the details were stored in my memory
for many years, before I ever dreamt of telling anyone.
I
do remember that the NCO who came to rescue me was Sgt. Dunne
who is sitting next to the two Bedouins in the photo, and that I
am directly behind him, peeping over his shoulder, in the shade
of the Arabs tent. Apparently the Arabs had kept me alive by sprinkling
cold goats milk on me to reduce my body temperature until help was
found in the form of Micky Dunne
and his lads.
Were you there,
in the photo, and have I imagined any or all of this nightmare.
We received no counselling in those days,
just salt tablets.
This was just one of the many
unpleasant incidents in which I was involved in the Middle - East,
but I do recall having some good times in between.
Has anyone
been back to visit the graves of our mates who we left behind ?
