Battle of the Crater (Aden)
The Battle of the Crater was an encounter during the Aden Emergency. Following the murder of British troops by the Arab Armed Police the Crater district in Aden was abandoned by British troops. The British decided to enter the Crater and retrieve the bodies of British soldiers.〔Wilson, Derek. "British troops grow bitter as anarchy spreads in Aden." Sunday Times (England ) 2 July 1967: 6. The Sunday Times Digital Archive. Web. 18 Apr. 2014.〕
The operation began in 3 July 1967 under the name ''Operation Stirling Castle'' and resulted in the Crater being successfully reoccupied. Lt-Col Colin Campbell Mitchell|, "Mad Mitch" is reported to have ordered the regimental pipe band to march down the main street, whilst playing. The sound of the pipes and drums caused the insurgents to surrender. British troops remained there until the end of the Emergency.〔(National Army Museum - Aden Exhibit ) accessed 3 November 2013〕〔(Jim Keys, "Operation Stirling Castle", ''History Herald'' 21 November 2012 ) accessed 3 November 2013〕〔Humphry, Derek.
