As part of my research, I am looking for ant informationthat people have regarding the role of 3rd Battaion whilst serving in Palestine in 1945 / 46 Thanks in advance Phil
Hi Phil have you checked out this site;- 3para1945-48palestine It deals with 3 Paras involvement including if I remember correctly 16 photograph albums with over 200 photos hope this helps Regards Verrieres
I have a copy of 'Cordon & Search' subtitled, With the 6th Airborne Division in Palestine, 1945-48. By Maj. Gen. Dare Wilson. Is there anything specific you are after? the book has no index so listing all the actions of 3rd Batt. would be a chore. Bod

This page at Britain's small wars site looks like a pretty good introduction. Thanks Bodston, I have been through that one too Phil
As I said earlier Phil, I have the book 'Cordon & Search' which just about sums up the time spent in Palestine. So anything or anyone specific you need looking up, let me know. Cheers, Bod
