1952 Clash of Ismailia

The Battle of Ismailia was an armed confrontation which took place in the Egyptian city of Ismailia on 25 January 1952 between the British Army and Egyptian police. After British forces led by George Erskine tracked a group of fedayeen to a government building in Ismailia, the policemen inside refused to accede to British demands to come outside, surrender their weapons and evacuate the region. When the building's occupants shot and killed a British negotiator, Erskine ordered his troops to attack and capture the building.
