Source corroborating

Just noting that the following information included currently in the article -- though rendered in less detail than it is now in the article text -- is corroborated via a scholarly source: The TJFF (Transjordanian Frontier Force) recruited mostly from among Palestinians. Some at least of the members were in attendance at victory celebrations in London at the end of WWII. The British disbanded the force — and the author says it was "some 2,500 strong" — several months before the end of the Palestine Mandate, corroborating the February 1948 date given currently on the Wiki article. I didn't see it worth adding this as an actual citation on the page given that the detail there currently is more extensive than this summary source gives, but at least this helps corroborate.
