"British Soldiers in Palestine" shows some of the last days of the Palestinian Mandate, which lasted from the 1920’s to 1948. The newsreel's focus is on the intervention of British Civil forces in Jerusalem against the young militant Haganah and Irgun. (The Irgun, officially the National Military Organization in the Land of Israel, was a Zionist paramilitary organization that operated in Mandatory Palestine between 1931 and 1948. It was an offshoot of the older and larger Jewish paramilitary organization Haganah.) The Tower of David; aka the Citadel stands near the Jaffa Gate entrance to the Old City of Jerusalem (:46).

Here it lands in Laverton, Australia (3:11). Flight crew members get photographed (3:23).
