With the British Army in the Holy Land by Henry Osmond Lock
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 748kb
Overview: Major Lock’s describes his own experiences of the very arduous campaign directed by General Allenby in the Middle East.
After serving in India and Mesopotamia, he went with the 2/4th Dorsets to Palestine in time for the Third Battle of Gaza. The 75th Division, of which his battalion formed part, held the so- called "Apex", south-east of Gaza, against a very active and persistent enemy.
Lock’s narrative illustrates the difficulties of the fighting in the Judaean hills. The troops, British and Indian, who had served on the North-Wrest Frontier, were, he says, more expert in hill- fighting than the Turks, who did not show the traditional cunning of the Pathans and other hillmen. On the other hand, the Turks had plenty of artillery and machine-guns, while our men had to advance unsupported until roads had been made for our guns.
