About this book
Water supplies, railways and narrow hill roads shape H. O. Lock's account of the British campaign in Palestine during the First World War. Written on active service soon after the events, this military history combines the author's experience with official reports. It begins with Egypt and the strategic importance of the Suez Canal, then follows operations across Sinai and into Palestine. The contents cover Gaza, Beersheba, Jerusalem and the Jordan, alongside the wider regional setting.
Lock pays close attention to the practical demands of moving and supporting an army. In the advance through the hills near Jerusalem, troops must secure commanding heights while transport passes below, and the terrain changes how artillery can be used. Chapters on railways, water, trench conditions and front line life place these operations in their everyday context.
