Sacrifice at Mirbat, Dhofar, Oman, 19th July 1972 by David Pentland. - Cranston Military Prints

Sacrifice at Mirbat, Dhofar, Oman, 19th July 1972 by David Pentland.


Sacrifice at Mirbat, Dhofar, Oman, 19th July 1972 by David Pentland.

When 250 well armed and trained rebel tribesmen attacked the small SAS outpost at Mirbat few would have given good odds on their survival. At the height of the battle Corporal Labalaba and Trooper Savesaki, both Fijians and both wounded fought off relentless assaults by the attacking Adoo. Firing a World War II vintage 25pdr field gun at point blank range Labalaba finally fell to a snipers bullet just as Captain Kealy and Trooper Tobin reached the gunpit to aid its defence. Within minutes however Tobin was dead, but Kealy and the remaining defenders critical position was saved by the timely arrival of 2 Omani Strikemaster jets, and helicopters carrying 24 men of G Squadron.
