Fascinating. I’ve read “Man-Eaters of Tsavo,” but I didn’t know about Col. Patterson’s career after that. He must have known Orde Wingate.

Ghost and the Darkness was a pretty good movie. It got me reading about Patterson. Thanks for posting.

Bibi Netanyahu’s older brother Yonatan, who was killed in the 1967 Raid on Entebbe, was named for Col. John Patterson.
Val Kilmer played Col. Patterson in the 196 movie, ‘The Ghost and the Darkness’.

Close friends of his named their child after him, and the boy grew up to be yet another lion-hearted hero of Israel. His name was Yonatan Netanyahu.
