GSM // RADFAN //SCARCE // This medal is from a collection from a man who was at Rafdan. MEDAL NAMED TO: 23735667. TPR. G.R. TRUNDLE. 4th. ROYAL TAKK REGT. CLASP: RADFAN CONDITION: EF. The Radfan clasp was awarded to British units for service in the Radfan Mountains, Aden, between April 25 and July 31, 1964, and which fought against the Radfan tribesmen who were supported by Yemen and Egyptian agents. 1955-1967 // The British involvement in Radfan began during the Aden Crisis, with rebels using the Dhala road to bring down supplies for the terrorists in Aden. The British Army took the decision to deploy a garrison into the Radfan to limit the rebels supplies and thus the Radfan tribesmen's ability to blackmail the traders. The Radfan tribesmen were aided and supplied by the Yemenis, who themselves had received aid and supplies from the Egyptians, and soon had Dhala under daily attack. According to the Commanding Officer of 45 Commando, Lt-Colonel Paddy Stevens, the tribesmen of the Radfan were 'a xenophobic lot, equipped from boyhood with rifles, who regarded the British arrival in their mountains as an opportunity for target practice'. The tribesmen mined the road from Aden and ambushed Army convoys, they made the position of the British and Federal garrison as difficult as possible. The usual method of aerial leaflet drops and bombings could not be employed following worldwide critical reaction against similar Egyptian tactics in the Yemen, so the task of counter-attacks was left to the infantry. There was an unpleasant aftermath to the Radfan Campaign. The Arabs had taken the bodies of Captain Edwards and his radio operator (both members of A Squadron 22 SAS) who had been killed in a ambush earlier in the campaign. The bodies were taken to Taiz where they were decapitated and the heads displayed in the market place. The British presence continued for another two years, with the British troops leaving, once Makawee had been removed from power in Aden and the Federal Army made responsible for security. |
