    Saw picture with John Glubb. Recently read about him and his activity with the Arab Legion.

    If you read some of the comments, I think one man actually ID'd himself in one of the pictures.

    Great pics. Noticed a couple of comments about the many StEn guns and whether they were of British or Israeli mfr. The Mk II was my first title 2 weapon ever. Dirty, crude and simple.

    Excellent trove of History. History that must never be lost. I have always been drawn back to Hollywood's interpretation of these events in the movie "The Exodus", by Leon Uris. Starring Paul Newman. Made when there was a rising up against McCarthyism and being Black listed.
    I believe, to this day, this movie captures the turmoil and anguish between the Jewish and Arab Factions, I have yet to see elsewhere.
    When will we ever learn? When will we ever let go? Can we let go? I'm sad to say, it seem .......no
