Abdullah Yousef el-Tell ((アラビア語:عبدالله التل), 17 July 1918–1973) served in the Transjordanian Arab Legion during the 1948 war in Palestine rising from the rank of company commander to become Military Governor of the Old City of Jerusalem. He was later accused of being involved in the assassination of King Abdullah I and spent many years in Egypt before returning to Jordan in 1967. El-Tell was born into a wealthy family in Irbid just as the Ottoman army were retreating from the town. His mother held him up to the window to witness the soldiers leaving.〔Collins, Larry & Lapierre, Dominique (1972) ''O Jerusalem!'' History Book Club edition by arrangement with Weidenfeld & Nicolson. p. 388.〕 His secondary education was in Egypt.〔Moshe Dayan, ''My Life''. p. 129.〕 When he was 18 years old, he was jailed for demonstrating against the British.〔Collins/Lapierre. p. 388. It is not clear if this was in Egypt.〕 In 1941, he joined the British Army and in 1942 completed an officer training course in the Suez Canal area.〔Dayan, p. 129. Glubb, Sir John Bagot (1957) ''A Soldier with the Arabs.'' Hodder and Stoughton. p. 255: "became an orderly room clerk, prior to obtaining commission"〕 ==Early life and career== El-Tell's ancestors, the Banu Zaydan, had lived in the Jordanian cities of Amman and Irbid from the 17th century. They adopted the surname el-Tell (or al-Tal) in reference to their previous habitation near the Amman citadel, which was built on a ''tell'' (Arabic for "hill").〔Yitzhak, 2012, p. 21.〕 El-Tell was born in Irbid on 17 July 1918. He received his primary education in the city, but moved to Salt for his high school education. It was there that he became skilled in the English language. He graduated in October 1937.〔Yitzhak, 2012, p. 23.〕 After working as a customs officer for the Transjordanian government, he joined the Arab Legion in 1942. He initially served in the 1st Brigade as a second lieutenant, becoming a first lieutenant in May 1943, and captain in September 1944. He was deployed at an Arab Legion training base in Sarafand al-Amar near al-Ramla in Palestine. He was promoted to major in March 1948.〔 El-Tell married Asia Mismar in 1944 and they later had five sons, Muntasir, Salah al-Din, Osama, Khaled and Hamza, and one daughter, Inas. All were born after the 1948 War, when el-Tell was living in exile in Cairo, Egypt, and all of his sons were named for prominent Muslim military figures or were associated with victory.〔Yitzhak, 2012, p. 24.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abdullah el-Tell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
