The following is an extract from 'A History of the 10th, 11th & Royal Hussars 1945-1992' by Henry Keown-Boyd:
"The Arabian Peninsula - On 19 July 1965, Major Robin Wilson and a Gunner officer were flying in a helicopter in tthe Dhala area when they came under machine gun and mortar fire. Lieut. A.H. Lyall Grant reported: 'On the morning of 19 July Major Wilson 10H and Major Ohlenschlager RHA were flying in a Scout helicopter reconnoitring a route from Hayaz to Awabil when they were fired at by MG and mortars from the area of Ardah, so at 0945 3rd Troop were ordered to produce two Saladins from Dhala. Two cars, commanded by Lt. Lyall Grant and Cpl. Rowley, arrived at Hayaz at 1020. They linked up with 2 Coy from 5 FRA and set out at 1100, one Saladin in front and the other at the rear of the column. Two guns from 28 Bty, 19 Lt. Regt., RA, based at Dhala, set off at 1100 and were in position near Jalas by 1200. Pickets were sent along the north side of the route from this point and bumped into opposition in the area and fired on with rifles and explosive bullets by about 30 dissidents. One Gundee from 5 FRA was hit in the stomach and later died...
Both Saladins engaged a stone shelter containing enemy at 400 yds. Two bodies were recovered from it that evening but were found to be killed by MG fire from the Infantry. The enemy continued to retire and the Infantry mounted an attack. The dissidents retired to the NW and the pursuit was stopped at 1600. The enemy were seen to be carrying 7 dead or wounded."
