4.9/5 (34879 ratings)

Description:The Gaysh tells the story of the emergence of an army following early attempts to protect the trade routes in & thru Aden. From the 1st commercial treaty with the Abdali Sultan in 1802, various efforts were made to avoid looting, leading to the annexing of Aden Port by the E. India Company in 1839. It wasn't until the Turks threatened to invade in WWI that a regular army unit was formed. The 1st Yemen Infantry did not see action, & there was a move, on financial grounds, to disband it in 1928. Because a need remained, the decision was taken to replace its policing role by airpower, supported by a small force of levies to defend the bases, including a camel corps. The book takes that story on, chronologically, thru the Aden Protectorate Levies' growing strength & its relationship with the British Government & its policies. It includes its part in the Silver Jubilee celebration parade in 1935, pre-1939 military operations, its role in WWII, its involvement in the evacuation of the Jews following the Arab/Jewish riots in Crater in 1947, & on to the creation of the Federation & the withdrawal of the British Army in 1967.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
