1964 1965 1967 The Radfan Campaign was a series of British military actions during the Aden Emergency in January–May 1964.

It took place in the mountainous Radfan region near the border with the Yemen Arab Republic.

In January 1964 the local army sent three battalions supported by the RAF to restore order.

Trouble flared up again and in April British ground troops were sent in; by May they had taken the main rebel stronghold and the revolt had been suppressed.

[2] The best known action of the Campaign involved a patrol led by Captain Edwards on the 29 April 1964 which came under the attack.
