[edit] Eccentric

He was supposed to have a special grease stained uniform for meeting important personages.

The man's name was Orde Charles Wingate for some reason this entry redirects the user to Charles Orde Wingate

I would propose changing these around - unless someone says otherwise Saltmarsh 14:16, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Why does Orde Wingate have 2 different dates of birth? Was he born on the 23rd or 26th February 1903? Neil Rees

He was born on February 26th 1903. Aaron Eitan Meyer

[edit] Confusion

"Wingate convinced the Zionist Jewish Agency and the leadership of Haganah, the Jewish armed group."

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. It's from the end of the first paragraph in the "Palestine and Special Night Squads" section. Thank you. LordAmeth 11:20, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding the Jewish Agency and the Haganah

Wingate not only had to convince the political leadership, but the military as well. The statement is a bit off though, as the political leadership did in fact control the military. On the other hand, a demarcation could be made regarding the primarily domestic leadership of the Haganah as opposed to the Jewish Agency. His success in this regard did not come all at once either. While he became known as HaYedid, initially he was referred to somewhat disparagingly by Kibbutzniks as HaYedid Shelcha, "your friend" due to his initial friendship with a particular Jewish member. Once his offers were accepted as in good faith, and he proved himself in other ways, the qualifier was dropped. By comparison, British officer Antony Simonds was considered a 'lightweight,' and his offers of aid, which were in some ways akin to those made by Wingate, were declined.
