United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) was the first
large U.N. peacekeeping operation, supervising the armistice between Egypt and
Israel in the Sinai desert, from the Suez Crisis of 1956 until the Six Day War
of 1967.
Six years later, U.N. Emergency Force II
(UNEF II) was established in Sinai and the Golan Heights following the 1973 Yom
Kippur War between Israel and a coalition of Arab nations led by Egypt and
Syria, during which both the U.S. and Soviet Union were threatening military
action.
DANOR was the combined Danish-Norwegian (DANOR) infantry
battalion of UNEF in the Gaza Strip. Each country allowed its soldiers to use
stamps from home.
Is has been recorded that the Jeeps that the
DANOR Batallon used carried an insignia which combines
flags from both
countries.
