Historical Background:
The Allied offensive in the Lebanese hills was ordered to the 25th Australian Brigade under the command of Brigadier Baxter. Coming from the Palestine border the brigade arrived on the 8th of June in front of the city of Merdjayoun, defended by a single company of 1st battalion 22th RTA. The French were well entrenched in the city and on the hills and opened fire on the Australian soldiers as soon as they were at the firing range. The village of Khiam, was quickly captured by Australians but they failed at Merdjayoun, because of the heavy fire of the French.
