An account of a daring exploit on the Syrian border performed by men of the then 4th Indian Division, led by a British officer. 'Well, that's your job; the success of the campaign, to a large extent, depends on you. Good Luck, Adam!' Captain Adam Murray stepped out of the Brigadier's staff car, where he had been receiving his orders, and walked thoughtfully away. He had been given the task for which all soldiers yearn - an independent mission. Success or failure depended on him and his men alone. The scene was Palestine, the date June, 1941. The British forces were lined along the Syrian frontier. In spite of every plea by the British Goverment, the Vichy French authorities refused to cease assisting the Germans to prepare Syria for invasion. There was no alternative but to occupy the country and eject the Axis. Preparations were now complete. On the right of the line was the 5th Indian Infantry brigade. It actually formed part of the 4th Indian Division in the Western Desert, but had been detached for this operation. The Brigade had already fought in Egypt, the Sudan, and Eritrea. These campaigns had been brought to successful conclusions, but not without casualties. Murray himself had been 'Mentioned in dispatches.' About two miles across the frontier lay a railway which, once the advance started, would be of vital importance to the British. At Tel Chehab the line crosses a valley by means of a viaduct. Lawrence of Arabia tried to destroy this same bridge in 1918, to hamper the getaway of the Turkish armies defeated by Allenby. The attempt was then frustrated, for one of the Arabs entrusted with the job accidentally dropped his rifle, thus warning the Turkish guards. Now in 1941, Murray had been given a task that was perhaps even more difficult - capturing the Viaduct intact. British Intelligence - and there is no better Secret Service in the world - had found out a good deal about the bridge. There were three piers, but the central span was huge, nearly sixty yards long. If that span were destroyed (and it was known that all preparations had been made to blow it up) it was irreplaceable from any resources then available in the Middle East. Charges had been placed in readiness under the main pier. These charges could be ignited either by ordinary match fuse, with about sixty seconds delay, or by dynamo exploder. The explosive was packed in a stone sangar built at the base of the pier. Twenty-five yards away was a tent where the guards slept when off duty, and the tent, pier, and sangar were surrounded by barbed wire, with trenches round the perimeter. The Vichy guard had strict orders to destroy the viaduct on the approach of the British. The problem therefore divided itself into three phases. The objective must be reached without giving the alarm; then the guard must be overpowered and the fuse disconnected before the bridge could be blown, and finally the structure must be held against any attempt to retake it. The task was obviously far from easy. All that day Murray studied maps and air photographs; he also made a reconnaissance as far as was possible without crossing the frontier. Actually available for the operation was one platoon of Murray's own company - sturdy Jats of the 4th Bn. 6th Rajputana Rifles, a unit fighting continuously for over four years, has won two Victoria Crosses, and no fewer than ninety seven other awards for gallantry. Murray knew well what magnificent fighters his Jats were, and that they would follow him anywhere. This was an enterprise, however, calling for finesses rather than valour, and the planning must be quite fool-proof. The plan he eventually decided upon was that the platoon should creep to the end of the viaduct and lie up there. The signal for the men to charge the guard post would be the firing of the first shot. He explained his orders to Jemadar Jodha Ram, the platoon commander, and the section commanders. When he had finished Company Havildar-Major (the Indian Army equivalent of Company Sergeant-Major) Goru Ram stepped forward. 'Who will fire the first shot, Sahib?' he asked. 'I shall - I hope,' replied Murray, in Urdu. 'I shall go down into the river bed and deal with the guard post.' 'Will you go alone, Sahib?' queried Goru Ram, anxiously. 'Yes,' said Murray. 'The fewer there are, the better chance of getting into the post unseen.' 'Nay, Sahib,' remonstrated Goru Ram. 'You can't go alone! I shall come with you.. You know that I am a good athlete and can move like a cat in the dark. As a marksman, also, there is none better than I in the Company.' 'No, Goru Ram,' replied Murray, shaking his head. 'I go alone.' 'Sahib,' urged the Company Havildar-Major, earnestly. 'I must go with you! If you are killed I shall never be able to hold up my head again. The men of the Regiment will spit on me; the Jats will be accursed. Those are the men, it will be said, who let their sahibs do the dangerous tasks alone. For the honour of my people I must come with you!' In face of Goru Ram's pleading Murray gave way. It was arranged that he should carry the tommy-gun and a couple of grenades while Goru Ram brought his rifle and bayonet and also a pair of wire-cutters. Shortly after dark the following night the party set out across the frontier. In front Adam Murray. With him were Goru Ram, his orderly and also an Arabic interpreter. The latter was in a high state of nerves, so much so that it was almost possible to hear him trembling. He was so scared, in fact, that Murray made him carry the tommy-gun 'To weigh him down and prevent him becoming airborne,' as he explained later. Silent as shadows, the little band crept forward through the night. A gentle breeze blew down the valley, a welcome change after the oppressive heat of the day. No click of equipment, not a sound or a footfall, could be heard as these Jat soldiers carried out the manoeuvre for which they are so greatly dreaded - the noiseless night attack. Suddenly there was movement in front. The party halted, crouched down, and stared ahead through the darkness. Something was coming down the track - probably an enemy patrol! On Murray's whispered order the Jats got ready with their fixed bayonets; the whole patrol must be wiped out, silently, instantaneously, without a shot or a shout. The party waited tensely, in a silence broken only by the slight sound of the interpreter's chattering teeth. The patrol appeared to be large, moving slowly but not particularly carefully. It gradually drew nearer. Now it was fifteen yards away, now a dozen, but still the figures were not discernible. The Jats, scarcely daring to breathe, gripped their rifles more firmly, fingering the safety catches to ensure there should be no accidental shot. Now was the moment! As Murray rose to his feet, however, Goru Ram plucked at his sleeve. 'Sahib, it's goats!' he whispered. And it was; just a herd of goats moving along, grazing. The animals came on and passed right through the platoon. So great was the relief from nervous tension that Murray had to stuff his handkerchief into his mouth to prevent himself laughing out loud. Forward again went the platoon. Reaching the railway, which here ran on top of the bluff alongside the river-bed, they stole along in single file. Suddenly Murray stopped. There, three yards away, was the muzzle of a machine-gun, peeping out from a slit in a pill-box. Complete silence reigned inside; evidently the French sentry, like the rest of the garrison of the post, was fast asleep. The platoon moved on once more, passing within two yards of the pill-box in utter silence. The sentry still slumbered peacefully. Presently they reached the end of the bridge, and the Jemadar posted his platoon in readiness. A last word, a quick handshake, then Murray and Goru Ram slid away into the darkness. Down into the river-bed they climbed, and set off across the valley bottom towards the guard post. When they could make out the shape of the tent they lay down and wormed their way forward on their stomachs. Inch by inch they crept onward until they reached the barbed wire. A sentry could be seen inside. He was alert, but, luckily for them, was on the far side of the enclosure. Goru Ram handed over the wire-cutters, rolled on to his back, and seized the bottom strand of the barbed wire with both hands. Murray cut the wire between the havildar's hands, thus avoiding any tell-tale 'ping.' The loose strands were carefully folded back on either side, and the two slid forward under the fence. Three more strands were cut in the same way; then they were inside the enclosure. At that moment a French soldier dashed out of the guard tent and began talking excitedly to the sentry. Murray and Goru Ram 'froze' where they lay, covering the pair with tommy gun and rifle. The talk went on, but after five minutes or so the newcomer returned to the tent. Murray breathed again. Just as they were preparing to move, however, the sentry looked at them. Once more they froze into immobility. Suddenly the sentry spoke. 'Shoo!' he said. 'Shoo!' Evidently he thought the two dark shadows were dogs. Then he bent down, picked up a stone, and threw it. Nothing happened. Presently it dawned on the sentry that something was wrong. If the shadows were dogs, they would have yelped or run away. The bolt of his rifle clicked. 'Now!' breathed Murray. Instantly the two men leapt to their feet. Murray gave the sentry a burst from the tommy-gun; the man pitched backwards on to the wire and lay still. Guards sprang out of the tent, but the two intruders ran forward, firing at the moving figures, particularly marking down those who were trying to reach the fuse. The darkness was rent by gun-flashes, the night was full of screams and groans, shouts and curses. Suddenly Murray's tommy-gun clicked harmlessly: it was empty. But just then the surviving Frenchmen put up their hands! A hurricane-lamp stood beside the charge of explosives, and with the watchful Goru Ram close at hand, Murray stepped forward and tore the fuse away. The Chehab viaduct was saved! At that moment the platoon arrived, led by Jemadar Jodha Ram, waving a great stick. They were greatly relieved to find their officer unhurt: they feared Murray had been killed in the first burst of shooting, and if that had been the case not a Frenchman would have remained alive. As it was, Murray and Goru Ram had killed two, wounded three, and taken five or six prisoners. On their way back to the frontier the Jats were fired on from the pill-box they had passed in the night. Two sepoys were killed and Jemadar Ram and another sepoy wounded. Jodha Ram was furious; he loudly lamented that they had not slit the throats of everybody inside when they passed it in the night. The remainder of the platoon got back safely, rejoining the battalion for its advance through Syria. For their exploits at the bridge Murray - now a Major- was awarded the Military Cross, and Goru Ram the Indian Order of merit, the Indian Army equivalent of the Distinguished Conduct Medal.
