Default 40 Cdo RM Haifa 1948

Some extracts from an interesting booklet written by the Int Sect, 40 Cdo RM in late 1948 covering the unit's tour in Palestine/Israel Jan - Jun 48. The use of the main armament (37mm) of their Staghound Armoured Cars in the anti-sniper role was interesting as was the Jewish terrorists' use of the VBIED. 40 Cdo RM was the last British unit to leave Haifa.
