Convoys were attacked again on the 24-th and 25th, the latter leading
to another engagement v/ith a large band, this time south of Nablus.
It resulted in 9 enemy dead and 2 wounded, while the Seaforth High
landers lost a N.C.O. killed. On the 26th another action was fought
in the same neighbourhood as a result of an attack on a telegraph line
repair party. Eight Arabs were killed, two wounded, and six taken
prisoner, while two Cameron Highlanders were wounded and an aircraft was
hit by rifle fire. Attacks on the railway were now occurring daily, and
on the evening of the 25th a train was wrecked and attacked by armed
Arabs, resulting in the death of a Private of the Cheshire Regt. and the
wounding of another.
Further attacks on convoys and trains were made on the 28th and 29ti
and three British constables were wounded. The increasing calls for
road protection had resulted in serious overworking of the armoured
cars, and it became necessary to ask for a mechanized cavalry regiment
from Egypt. Accordingly the 8 th King’s Royal Irish Hussars with a
number of Ford Y 8 ’’pick-ups” left Cairo on the 26th, travelling by
road across the Sinai Desert, and reached Jerusalem on the 28th. The
following day the Air Striking Force at Ramleh was increased with the
arrival of one flight of No.33 (Bomber) Squadron from Egypt, and work
was started at Gaza aerodrome with a view to accommodating there later
the whole of No. 33 Squadron.
