A dummy is bayoneted during a demonstration at Sarafand, Palestine, 11 November 1942. Although Palestine did hardly not see any combat during WW2, as it did during WW1, the British had several units there. The Palestine Regiment was an infantry regiment created in 1942, during the Second World War. The regiment was deployed to Egypt and Cyrenaica, but most of their work consisted of guard duty and rarely saw combat. However, some Palestine Regiment members were killed in Benghazi, where they fought heavy battles against the German units. The Palestine Regiment consisted of Jews and Arabs, conscripted in Mandatory Palestine, until its reformation in 1944. From 1944, the Jewish military subunits of Palestine Regiment became the basis to form the larger Jewish Brigade, which took part in World War II effort of the Allies in Europe.
