Can anyone tell me if the Palestinian-Jewish soldiers who took part in the Syrian campaign, acting a a special reconnaissance group were awarded the Africa Star? I would also like to know if members of Wingates Special Night Squads received the General Service Medal from the British Government?

as neither were formally part of the British army I would have thought not.

Moshe Dayan lost his eye in combat in Lebanon as part of a mixed recon unit attached to the Australians.

What is more interesting is how the story of just how Dayan lost his eye has changed over the years.
The earliest I remember was that it was lost to an Italian bullet.
