“ Point of interest ”
Was reading about Warrenpoint and Paras losing 18 men in a ambush.
On 28th Febuary 1948, the british forces lost 28 young boys of 18/19 years of age in much the same way. The overnight express train from Cairo to Haifa was blasted apart and 28 young boys lost their lives. 30 odd were injured, never hear of this mentioned on armistice day. Overall 785 British service men and women lost their lives from 1945 to 1948.
