A member of the Aden Police, 1967 (c)

The Aden Police assisted British Army units and the Federal Regular Army in their attempts to defeat a nationalist revolt in the newly formed Federation of South Arabia (Aden colony and the sheikhdoms of the Aden Protectorates). The police and federal forces faced Egyptian-funded and trained revolutionaries who in many cases bore arms more modern and more effective than those at their disposal. The campaign continued until the British withdrawal in November 1967.
