- @Good Olfactory: I'm not sure this would be an improvement. The main article Jewish insurgency in Mandatory Palestine begins "Jewish insurgency in Mandatory Palestine involved paramilitary actions carried out by Jewish underground groups against the British forces and officials in Mandatory Palestine between 1939 and 1948." So it does not seem accurate to refer to "the Jewish insurgency" as an event; perhaps "the period of Jewish insurgency"? Meanwhile, the term "Palestine Emergency" is used elsewhere for this period, in United Kingdom casualties of war (dates stated as 1945–48) and
List of friendly fire incidents#Palestine Emergency (1944-47)List of friendly fire incidents#Palestine Emergency (1945-48). Perhaps the most specific term would follow the section Jewish insurgency in Mandatory Palestine#The Jewish Resistance Movement and after, 1945–47. However, "British military personnel of the Jewish Resistance Movement" or the nomination "British military personnel of the Jewish insurgency" might imply involvement in or support for the Movement/insurgency. I'd be inclined to just add dates at the end of the existing name. – Fayenatic London 15:50, 21 June 2016 (UTC)- I revised the section link in the "friendly fire" article to 1945–48, as this also matches the dates given in the biographies in the subcat. – Fayenatic London 21:22, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
