Everything about Tegart Fort totally explained
A
Tegart fort is a style of militarized police "fortress" constructed throughout
Palestine during the
British Mandatory period.
The forts are named after
British police officer and engineer
Sir Charles Tegart, who designed them in
1938 based on his experiences in the
Indian insurgency.
Tens of the reinforced concrete block structures were built to the same basic plan, both along the so-called "
Tegart's wall" of the northern border with
Lebanon and
Syria, and at strategic intersections in the interior of Palestine.
Many of them stand to this day, and some continue to be used as jails.
Alternate name
In Israel,
Tegart is commonly
misspelled as
Taggart.
This is probably from the compound
transliteration of an
English name into
Hebrew and then back into English.
