About this book
How Jerusalem Was Won is the record of Allenby's campaign in Palestine, by W.T. Massey, official correspondent of the London newspapers with the Egyptian Expeditionary Force, with illustrations and maps, London, 1919. The preface says that the narrative of the work accomplished for civilisation by General Allenby's Army is carried only as far as the occupation of Jericho. The preface says that the capture of that ancient town, with the possession of a line of rugged hills a dozen miles north of Jerusalem, secured the Holy City from any Turkish attempt to retake it.
The text says that General Allenby brought to the East a lengthy experience of fighting on the Western Front, where his deliberate methods of attack, notably at Arras, had given the Allies victories over the cleverest and bravest of our enemies. The text says that on the 22nd Nebi Samwil was thrice attacked, and that British and Indian troops were holding the hill, but the Turks were on the northern slopes. The text quotes an appreciation written by Major von Papen of Yilderim headquarters on August 28, 1917.
