Orde Charles Wingate

The British sent Orde Charles Wingate to Judea to organize a fighting force should the Axis be successful in pushing into the Middle East oil fields. When the threat slackened, no less than Moshe Dayan went to him and complained that the training had not let up accordingly. "You don't understand," Wingate replied. "I am training the Army of Israel". Apparently he did a super job.
