EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph is one of 27 images from the collection assembled for Col Robin McNish's "Iron Division - The History of the 3rd Division," showcasing the 3rd Division's deployment in various locations between 1918 and 1977. In this image, soldiers of the 3rd Division are seen preparing for deployment in Palestine during the late 1950s. The significance of this period lies in the aftermath of the Suez Crisis of 1956, which highlighted the need for more rapid mobilization. In response, the 3rd Division pioneered the concept of air portability, enabling them to be rapidly deployed to various regions, including Palestine, Egypt, and Cyprus. This photograph, dated 1958, is a testament to the division's readiness and adaptability during a time of geopolitical instability. The 3rd Division's association with these countries spanned from 1945 to 1958, marking a crucial period in the division's history. This image is a valuable addition to the collection, providing a glimpse into the military operations and logistics of the 3rd Division during this era.
