This story from the December 2025 edition of the Naval Historical Review (Volume 46 No. 24) describes the service of Australian naval officers in the Palestine. During 1936-39 these officers served in Royal Navy ships operating off the coast of the Levant during what was known as the Great Revolt; which saw Palestinian Arabs demanding independence and an end to Jewish migration to the region. British troops and Palestinian police undertook operations on land to keep the peace, while the Royal Navy warships undertook patrols to stop the importation of weapons, ammunition and explosives, as well as preventing the illegal migration of members of the Jewish faith to the region.
