Wingate s’engageait politiquement auprès des dirigeants juifs et formulait l’idée de former des commandos juifs conduits par des officiers britanniques qui avaient l’expérience et la formation militaires et soumettait personnellement cette idée au Général Archibald Wavell, qui était le commandant des forces britanniques en Palestine.
Wingate entraînait et conduisait ces patrouilles pour donner de dures punitions aux villages qui avaient aidé ou hébergé des saboteurs.
Ainsi, Wingate était devenu un héros des communautés juives de Palestine et apprécié de Moshe Dayan entraîné par lui et qui a déclaré avoir tout appris de lui.

Wingate dreamed of one day commanding the first Jewish army in two thousand years, and of leading the fight to establish an independent Jewish state in the land of Israel.
Though often poor, the Wingates came from distinguished Norman and Scottish stock, and among Orde’s prominent cousins were Sir Reginald Wingate, the governor of Sudan, and T.E. Lawrence, who gained fame for his exploits in Arabia during World War I. As a student, Wingate proved to be unexcep-tional, disinterested in sports and socially inept.
Wingate was eager to dedicate his talents to this cause, and he did not have far to look.

 ORDE WINGATE. A Biography - SYKES, CHRISTOPHER   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
In Palestine, where he first showed his military genius in the organisation of special patrols against Arab terrorists, Wingate was exceptional in his support for the Jews and his passionate devotion to the cause of Zionism.
In Ethiopia, where he was commander of the troops in the immediate service of Haile Selassie, his brilliant campaign of courage and bluff played a notable part in the Italian defeat and the restoration of the Emperor to his throne.
Wingate approached the problems of war with a cold and often ruthless idealism, and he could prove a difficult colleague to those who did not like the challenging impact of his personality.

 T. E. Lawrence Studies List > Lawrence telated to Orde Wingate
Shortly before he went to Palestine he had learned in the course of conversation with Sir Reginald Wingate [his father's cousin] that Lawrence belonged to the Chapman family to which Mrs Wingate was related, so that it followed that Lawrence of Arabia was his distant cousin.
Major General Orde Charles Wingate, leader of the Imperial air-borne Commando forces in Burma, was killed when the plane in which he was riding crashed in the Burma jungle.
Similarly the Wingate comparison with Lawrence is a journalistic one, but he was never established in public opinion or professional writing as the Lawrence of WW2.
