WWII Jordan Soldier

During the Second World War the territory later called Jordan was the Emirate of Transjordan, and its best-known military force was the Arab Legion. Organized under British influence, the Legion combined local recruitment with training and leadership suited to desert and security operations. Elements supported British operations in the Middle East, including the 1941 campaigns. Calling the soldier Jordanian is understandable modern shorthand, but the wartime political designation was Transjordanian. The Legion’s desert experience and local knowledge were valuable for communications and security tasks across sparsely populated territory. The state did not become the independent Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan until after the war.
