General Sir Evelyn Barker, former commander of British forces in Palestine, who arrived in England today, declared that “we are fed up with having British soldiers murdered” in Palestine.
Barker added that at present “there is little we can do. We can hit back, but the trouble is that we may get the wrong people. I hope that by Christmas some of the barbed wire will be removed from Palestine streets and everything will get back to normal,” he concluded.
The War Office today granted a request that 99 Jewish soldiers of Gen. Wladisaw Anders Polish Army who were kept in a separate “Palestine camp” in Italy and later placed in segregated quarters in the Orkney Islands, off Scotland, be placed in a temporary camp of the type normally used for other troops of the Polish corps awaiting demobilization. The soldiers, who will join their families in Palestine as soon as they are discharged, were represented by the Advisory Committee for Polish Jewish Soldiers.
