An account of a daring exploit on the Syrian border performed by men of the then 4th Indian Division, led by a British officer. “Well, that’s your job; the success of the campaign, to a large extent, depends on you. Good Luck, Adam!”. Captain Adam Murray stepped out of the Brigadier’s staff car, where he had been receiving his orders, and walked thoughtfully away. He had been given the task for which all soldiers yearn - an independent mission. Success or failure depended on him and his men alone. The scene was Palestine, the date June, 1941. The British forces were lined along the Syrian frontier. In spite of every plea by the British Goverment, the Vichy French authorities refused to cease assisting the Germans to prepare Syria for invasion. There was no alternative but to occupy the country and eject the Axis. Preparations were now complete. On the right of the line was the 5th Indian Infantry brigade. It actually formed part of the 4th Indian Division in the Western Desert, but had been detached for this operation. The Brigade had already fought in Egypt, the Sudan, and Eritrea. These campaigns had been brought to successful conclusions, but not without casualties. Murray himself had been “Mentioned in dispatches.”. About two miles across the frontier lay a railway which, once the advance started, would be of vital importance to the British. At Tel Chehab the line crosses a valley by means of a viaduct. Lawrence of Arabia tried to destroy this same bridge in 1918, to hamper the getaway of the Turkish armies defeated by Allenby. The attempt was then frustrated, for one of the Arabs entrusted with the job accidentally dropped his rifle, thus warning the Turkish guards. Now in 1941, Murray had been given a task that was perhaps even more difficult - capturing the Viaduct intact. British Intelligence - and there is no better Secret Service in the world - had found out a good deal about the bridge. There were three piers, but the central span was huge, nearly sixty yards long. If that span were destroyed (and it was known that all preparations had been made to blow it up) it was irreplaceable from any resources then available in the Middle East. Charges had been placed in readiness under the main pier. These charges could be ignited either by ordinary match fuse, with about sixty seconds delay, or by dynamo exploder. The explosive was packed in a stone sangar built at the base of the pier. Twenty-five yards away was a tent where the guards slept when off duty, and the tent, pier, and sangar were surrounded by barbed wire, with trenches round the perimeter. The Vichy guard had strict orders to destroy the viaduct on the approach of the British. The problem therefore divided itself into three phases. The objective must be reached without giving the alarm; then the guard must be overpowered and the fuse disconnected before the bridge could be blown, and finally the structure must be held against any attempt to retake it. The task was obviously far from easy. All that day Murray studied maps and air photographs; he also made a reconnaissance as far as was possible without crossing the frontier. Actually available for the operation was one platoon of Murray’s own company - sturdy Jats of the 4th Bn. 6th Rajputana Rifles, a unit fighting continuously for over four years, has won two Victoria Crosses, and no fewer than ninety seven other awards for gallantry. Murray knew well what magnificent fighters his Jats were, and that they would follow him anywhere. This was an enterprise, however, calling for finesses rather than valour, and the planning must be quite fool-proof. The plan he eventually decided upon was that the platoon should creep to the end of the viaduct and lie up there. The signal for the men to charge the guard post would be the firing of the first shot. He explained his orders to Jemadar Jodha Ram, the platoon commander, and the section commanders. When he had finished Company Havildar-Major (the Indian Army equivalent of Company Sergeant-Major) Goru Ram stepped forward. “Who will fire the first shot, Sahib?” he asked. “I shall - I hope,” replied Murray, in Urdu. “I shall go down into the river bed and deal with the guard post.” “Will you go alone, Sahib?” queried Goru Ram, anxiously. “Yes,” said Murray. “The fewer there are, the better chance of getting into the post unseen.” “Nay, Sahib,” remonstrated Goru Ram. “You canÕt go alone! I shall come with you.. You know that I am a good athlete and can move like a cat in the dark. As a marksman, also, there is none better than I in the Company.” “No, Goru Ram,” replied Murray, shaking his head. “I go alone.” “Sahib,” urged the Company Havildar-Major, earnestly. “I must go with you! If you are killed I shall never be able to hold up my head again. The men of the Regiment will spit on me; the Jats will be accursed. Those are the men, it will be said, who let their sahibs do the dangerous tasks alone. For the honour of my people I must come with you!” In face of Goru Ram’s pleading Murray gave way. It was arranged that he should carry the tommy-gun and a couple of grenades while Goru Ram brought his rifle and bayonet and also a pair of wire-cutters. Shortly after dark the following night the party set out across the frontier. In front Adam Murray. With him were Goru Ram, his orderly and also an Arabic interpreter. The latter was in a high state of nerves, so much so that it was almost possible to hear him trembling. He was so scared, in fact, that Murray made him carry the tommy-gun “To weigh him down and prevent him becoming airborne,” as he explained later. Silent as shadows, the little band crept forward through the night. A gentle breeze blew down the valley, a welcome change after the oppressive heat of the day. No click of equipment, not a sound or a footfall, could be heard as these Jat soldiers carried out the manoeuvre for which they are so greatly dreaded - the noiseless night attack. Suddenly there was movement in front. The party halted, crouched down, and stared ahead through the darkness. Something was coming down the track - probably an enemy patrol! On Murray’s whispered order the Jats got ready with their fixed bayonets; the whole patrol must be wiped out, silently, instantaneously, without a shot or a shout. The party waited tensely, in a silence broken only by the slight sound of the interpreter’s chattering teeth. The patrol appeared to be large, moving slowly but not particularly carefully. It gradually drew nearer. Now it was fifteen yards away, now a dozen, but still the figures were not discernible. The Jats, scarcely daring to bre
