From 1944 to 1948, it also contained a British internment camp for Irgun and Lehi members. In the 1950s and 1960s, Gilgil was used as a base for the rotation of British infantry units who, typically, would progress from the United Kingdom to BAOR in Germany, to Kenya (with detachments left en route in the nascent Gulf states) and then on to Hong Kong. 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「Gilgil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
