Description: The British invasion of Vichy French Syria began in early June 1941. It was hoped that the French forces in Syria would offer only token resistance against the invading Emprie forces, mainly Australian and Indian units but this was not to be. The French humiliated by the defeat of 1940 and the attack on Mers el Kebir were ordered to fight back and they did.*
*
On June 15 troops of the Foreign Legion, the best French unit in Syria, supported by some light armour, counterattacked the Australian forces north of Merdjayoun*
