It was said one time that they were 'Carmelites' point maybe of interest.
1945-8 the British army was given the job of policing Palestine, this in turn was given to the 6th Airborne Division,-- their H.Q was in the Mount Carmel Priory, a big building of more than football stadium size, with a massive wall of granite surrounding it, on the Lintel above the doorway on this carved into the rock was words in Latin and symbols etc.
The last few days of Beb 1947 I spent about 5 nights, during the day I worked on our new camp in 'Haifa Port, My first duty in new camp was to guard was to guard shipping office of port, the ground floor of building was Barclays Bank, a suitcase of explosives exploded, next few minutes and I was in Hospital, the top of Mount Carmel.
