An Abyssinian Patriot, by War Commentary (1941)
Article from ‘War Commentary’, May 1941, London, UK
The Londoner’s Diary (Evening Standard 8th April) disclosed details of the British soldier “who has so brilliantly led the insurgent Abyssinians [Ethiopians].” This officer, liberator of the Abyssinians happens to have been “the organiser of the counter-guerilla in Palestine.”
“He was transferred to Palestine in 1937 during the rioting and those who served with him say that he accomplished miracles.”
He learned how to fight the Italians by crushing the Arabs and his newly acquired knowledge will probably serve him to crush the Abyssinians when those will get tired of their British liberators.
