* During the operations in Iraq, Major Glubb, in command of the mechanized portions of the Arab Legion, was an inspiration to all those who worked with him. He led many forays behind the enemy lines, harassing their communications and destroying railway lines. In the Syrian operations Major Glubb has again been forward in action. In July his force was attacked by a mechanize enemy column. Despite being under heavy machine gun fire he at once personally organized a spirited counter-attack, which resulted in the complete rout of th enemy and the capture of about 80 prisoners and much war material. A "bonny fechter", his name in the desert is one to conjure with.
