From the Library of Congress \u201cEgypt, on the threshold of Revolution\u00a01945 \u2013 1952<\/p>

A Major from the Royal Engineers, Deputy Commander of\u00a0Royal Engineers in the Suez Area, was travelling in an Army Car\u00a0<\/span>accompanied by one\u00a0 warrant Officer and a Private soldier – followed\u00a0<\/span>by a three-ton Lorry, carrying eight Mauritian Soldiers (Pioneers),\u00a0<\/span>and was driven by a British Corporal –\u00a0 as returning by the coast\u00a0<\/span>road from a visit on duty to Port Twefik (Egypt). As they turned\u00a0<\/span>the corner by the Eastern end of the refinery area, they ran\u00a0 into\u00a0<\/span>an ambush which concentrated heavy fire on both vehicles. Fire\u00a0<\/span>came from a building in the refinery and from a grove of palm\u00a0<\/span>trees on the other\u00a0 ide of the road. Both vehicles were forced into\u00a0<\/span>the ditch by the intense fire. The occupants of the car were thrown\u00a0<\/span>outside the vehicle. The driver of the\u00a0 orry dismounted with his\u00a0<\/span>weapon and lying on the ground, returned the fire of the attackers.\u00a0<\/span>After a few minutes, a civilian car approached from\u00a0 the East, and\u00a0<\/span>the Warrant Officer commandeering it was able to escape with the\u00a0<\/span>Corporal. They returned with a party of Bren-gun carriers which,\u00a0<\/span>on\u00a0 approaching the scene of the ambush, came under heavy fire\u00a0<\/span>from both sides of the road. Under fire they were able to rescue\u00a0<\/span>the bodies of five\u00a0 Mauritian Soldiers from the lorry.<\/span><\/p>

The following day early in the morning, a party of troops was sent\u00a0again to the scene of the ambush and on making a thorough search\u00a0<\/span>of the area,\u00a0 found the bodies of the remaining three Mauritian\u00a0<\/span>soldiers and of the British soldier who had been in the car. The\u00a0<\/span>body of the British Major was\u00a0 delivered to the British hospital by\u00a0<\/span>an Egyptian Police officer.<\/span><\/p>

It appears from the Post Mortem report that the eight Mauritian\u00a0soldiers and the British soldier were killed by gunshot, but there\u00a0<\/span>is evidence also that their bodies were \u201cmutilated \u201c after death\u00a0<\/span>by being struck all over by a \u201cblunt\u201d instrument and by stabbing.\u00a0<\/span>The Actual Post Mortem\/ Autopsy report #61\/.. (FO…\/96…) was\u00a0<\/span>performed by Lt Col R. V… (RAMC) Specialist in pathology. This\u00a0<\/span>report was far too brutal to be fully reported. The only serviceman\u00a0<\/span>who was taken prisoner by these Auxilliaries and lived to tell the\u00a0<\/span>tale of his harrowing experience was LAC Tony Rigden who after\u00a0<\/span>a long time in captivity ended up being thrown out of a taxi onto\u00a0<\/span>the streets of Paris, and from there made his own way home. He\u00a0<\/span>recounted his experience on the recent Television special on the\u00a0<\/span>Canal Zone by International Jazz Musician (and SCZ Veteran)\u00a0<\/span>Acker Bilk.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

8th March 1941 \u2013 two British ships the HMAS Canberra and the\u00a0HMNZS Leander were seen approaching the sea port. A squadron\u00a0of the Mauritius Territorial Force guarded Port Louis harbour. 70\u00a0men from the German marines were captured and imprisoned.\u00a0They disembarked the ships and were escorted by the Mauritian\u00a0Territorial guards. They were transported to Rose Hill where a camp\u00a0was improvised for them. The camp was protected by a wall made\u00a0of stone several meters tall. Inside, a well-organised discipline was\u00a0observed. Daily programs were planned for the soldiers such as\u00a0sports, physical training exercise, games, choir singing and so on.\u00a0Everyday one group of prisoners were escorted by the Mauritian\u00a0soldiers and headed for the playground of the college of Agriculture\u00a0at Reduit, where they trained and played handball.<\/p>

Mauritian soldiers guarded the camp, but they stayed only at the\u00a0peak of the walls, operating on a shift system, switching from the\u00a0<\/span>barracks at Vacoas to Rose Hill. Communication with prisoners was\u00a0<\/span>limited and difficult due to the language barrier or due to language\u00a0<\/span>barriers. Medications and cigarettes were smuggled inside and\u00a0<\/span>some soldiers had the chance to communicate with the Lieutenant,\u00a0<\/span>Emil Dehnel the group leader. Known as a courteous and reserved\u00a0<\/span>person, Dehnel maintained the high spirit morale among his men.\u00a0<\/span>He also communicated information to them about a German\u00a0<\/span>battleship, the Bismarck, accompanied by the Prinz Eugen, which\u00a0<\/span>sunk the British vessel, HMS Hood. His men were happy and sung\u00a0<\/span>loudly in the hope that their mates would rescue them, but their joy\u00a0<\/span>was short-lived as the Bismarck ship found itself rudder stuck and\u00a0<\/span>sunk. After a month of imprisonment, they packed their belongings\u00a0<\/span>and boarded the Hatarna ship, guarded by the Mauritian soldiers.\u00a0<\/span>They were heading for Mombasa. On their way they, the prisoners,\u00a0<\/span>mounted a coup to capture the ship, an attempt which they failed.\u00a0<\/span>The security was reinforced and the liberty of the soldiers was\u00a0<\/span>restricted until they reached Mombasa.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Bismarck was the first of two Bismarckclass\u00a0battleships that were ordered for the\u00a0Kriegsmarine in the years prior to World War II. Built by Blohm\u00a0and Voss, the battleship mounted a main battery of eight 15\u201d guns\u00a0and was capable of a top speed of over 30 knots.\u00a0\u00a0Quickly identified\u00a0as a threat by the Royal Navy, efforts to track Bismarck were\u00a0<\/span>underway after its commissioning in August 1940. Ordered on its\u00a0<\/span>first mission into the Atlantic the following year, Bismarck won a\u00a0<\/span>victory over HMS Hood at the Battle of the Denmark Strait, but\u00a0<\/span>soon came under a combined attack by British ships and aircraft.\u00a0<\/span>Damaged by an aerial torpedo, Bismarck was sunk by British surface\u00a0<\/span>ships on May 27, 1941.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Travel document issued to a Jewish woman who was interned on the island of Mauritius from late 1940 to August 1945.

The first Jews arrived from Haifa, British Palestine\u00a0(now Israel), in the 1940s because they were denied\u00a0entry to Palestine by the British Government. In\u00a0September 1940, the Atlantic, Milos, and Pacific,\u00a0picked up 3,600 Jews from Vienna, Gda\u0144sk\u00a0and Prague in Tulcea, Romania, to be sent to\u00a0Palestine. Jews that arrived in Palestine came without entry permits and were subsequently\u00a0denied entry by the British government. The\u00a0British decided to deport the immigrants to\u00a0either Trinidad and Tobago or Mauritius, both British\u00a0colonies. On 25 November 1940, the first ship carrying the\u00a01,800 Jews to Mauritius, the Patria, was accidentally bombed by the\u00a0Haganah, who wanted the Jews to stay in Palestine. Their intentions\u00a0were to cripple the ship. There were 260 fatalities and 172 injuries.\u00a0There were only enough lifeboats for 805. The surviving Jews were\u00a0sent to Atlit detainee camp in Israel. The remaining 1,584 refugees\u00a0from the Atlantic who were not on the Patria were initially also\u00a0imprisoned in Atlit, and were sent to Mauritius on 9 December,\u00a01940. On reaching Mauritius, they were sent to a detainment camp\u00a0in Beau-Bassin.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In the camp, the detainees suffered from tropical diseases and\u00a0inadequate food and clothing. Jewish organizations such as the\u00a0South African Jewish Board of Deputies, the Jewish Agency, and\u00a0the Zionist Federation, sent food, clothing, medicine, and religious\u00a0items to the detainees. Initially, a ban on interaction between the\u00a0sexes was enforced; the men were held in a former jailhouse and the\u00a0women in adjacent iron huts. After the ban was lifted, 60 children\u00a0were born in the camp. In total, 128 prisoners died in the camp,\u00a0and were buried in the Jewish section of St. Martin Cemetery.\u00a0At the end of World War II, the detainees were given the choice\u00a0of returning to their former homes in Europe or immigrating to\u00a0Palestine. Most chose Palestine, and on August 6, 1945, 1,320 landed\u00a0in Haifa. According to the population census of 2011, there are 43\u00a0Jews in Mauritius.<\/p>
