#2 Hey I thought Wingate! He's the only 'Zionist' I knew about.

Did you know we still have a Chindit expedition Trail? And the man is essential study in the special forces school.

I am proud of converting many of my colleagues to 'hindu zionists' which is a hoot.☺

#4 Lt.-Col. John Henry Patterson, who commanded Jewish Legion during WWI and was an avid Christian Zionist sounds like a good historical choice.
