Per Wikipedisir John Bagot Glubb Kcb Cmg Dso Obe Mc Kstj Kpm (1897 - 1986), Also Known As Glubb Pasha (Arabic: كلوب باشا) And Abu Hunaik (By The Jordanians), Was A British Military Officer Who Led And Trained Transjordan's Arab Legion Between 1939 And 1956 As Its Commanding General. He Served In World War I, The Ikhwan Revolt, World War Ii And The 1948 Arab-Israeli War. He Became An Officer Of The Arab Legion, Subsequently Known As The Jordanian Armed Forces, In 1930. In 1931, He Formed The Desert Patrol - A Force Consisting Exclusively Of Bedouin - To Curb The Raiding Problem That Plagued The Southern Part Of Jordan. Within A Few Years He Had Persuaded The Bedouin To Abandon Their Habit Of Raiding Neighbouring Tribes. He Also Took Part In Suppressing The Ikhwan Revolt. In 1939, Glubb Succeeded Frederick G. Peake As The Commander Of The Arab Legion. During This Period, He Transformed The Legion Into The Best-Trained Force In The Arab World. During World War Ii He Led Attacks On Axis-Aligned Arab Forces In Iraq, And On Vichy Forces In Lebanon And Syria. During The 1948 Arab-Israeli War, The Arab Legion Was Considered The Strongest Arab Army Involved In The War. In May 1948, Glubb Led The Arab Legion Across The River Jordan To Occupy The West Bank. Despite Some Negotiation And Understanding Between The Jewish Agency And King Abdullah, Severe Fighting Took Place In Kfar Etzion (May 1948), Jerusalem And Latrun (May-July 1948). According To Avi Shlaim, "Rumours That Abdullah Was Once Again In Contact With The Jewish Leaders Further Damaged His Standing In The Arab World. His Many Critics Suggested That He Was Prepared To Compromise The Arab Claim To The Whole Of Palestine As Long As He Could Acquire Part Of Palestine For Himself. 'The Internecine Struggles Of The Arabs,' Reported Glubb, 'Are More In The Minds Of Arab Politicians Than The Struggle Against The Jews. Azzam Pasha, The Mufti And The Syrian Government Would Sooner See The Jews Get The Whole Of Palestine Than That King Abdullah Should Benefit.' " Glubb Remained In Charge Of The Defence Of The West Bank Following The Armistice In March 1949. In 1952, Differences Emerged Between Glubb And The Newly Acceded King Hussein I, Especially Over Defence Arrangements, The Promotion Of Arab Officers And The Funding Of The Legion. Arab Nationalists Believed That Glubb's First Loyalty Was To The United Kingdom And That He Had Attempted To Pressure Hussein Into Joining The Baghdad Pact. Glubb And His Wife In 1944 Adopted Naomi, A Bedouin Girl Who Was Then Three Months Old. In 1948, They Adopted Two Palestinian Refugee Children Called Atalla, Renamed John And Mary. Hussein, Wanting To Distance Himself From The British And To Disprove The Contention That Glubb Was The Actual Ruler Of Jordan, Dismissed Glubb And Several Other British Senior Officers From The Arab Legion On 1 March 1956.
