UNEF Soldiers Volunteer from Second Tour of Duty

UNEF Soldiers Volunteer from Second Tour of Duty

Six months in the desert have failed to dampen the spirit of many of the young UNEF soldiers who come from ten different nations. In fact, an outstanding number of soldiers from Finland and Sweden, among the first troops to arrive in Egypt, have volunteered for another tour of duty. Nearly one third of the original Finnish Company and a quarter of the Swedish contingent have, for various reasons, decided to remain.
