3 Para - Palestine 1945-1948

This page should have contained a brief history of the Palestine problem but after visiting the Palestine pages on the "British Small Wars" website I decided that there was little that I could add to such a comprehensive study of the British involvement.
John Donaldson, who served in Palestine, also has a website devoted to the troubles and lists several books about the Parachute Regiment including "Cordon & Search" - written by Maj General Dare Wilson - which I can thoroughly recommend to anyone interested in the main tasks and achievements of the 6th Airborne Division between September 1945 and April 1948.

Please go to the "Links" page if you wish to visit these and other Parachute Regiment sites !

The poor quality of some of the black & white photos may seem out of place in this age of high technology but most were taken with cheap box cameras almost 60 years ago and have recently been rescued from small prints or badly scratched negatives.

However, the faces are recognisable and the main objective of this website is to reunite members of the 3rd Battalion, Parachute Regiment who served in Palestine during the period 1945-48.

Please get in touch with me if have any photos taken in Palestine (1945-48). Several members of 3 Para have received replies from old pals they hadn't seen for more than 50 years after recognising photos on my website !
