BAFTA-winning film-maker Peter Kosminsky is writing a new film and would very much value the help of Empire's Children users. The film is partly set in 1940s Palestine. Peter has requested the following information from anyone who can help: "I'd like to hear from or about those caught up in the events in British Mandate Palestine (on any side) between 1945 and 1948. In particular, people who saw action in the Second World War and then became involved in Palestine, as well as those who lived there before 1939 and watched the huge influx of Jewish refugees in the aftermath of the War. I'm also especially interested in the stories of any soldiers who fought with the British in the Second World War -having been trained by the British army or services, possibly actually members of the British army - only to find themselves, between 1945 and 1948, facing off militarily against their former comrades." Please post any stories or relevant information here on Empire's Children.
