THE EGYPTIAN
EXPEDITIONARY FORCE 1917-1918
This on-line edition of A Brief Record of the
Advance of the Egytpian Expeditionary Force is based directly on the
original version released in 1919 as an official record of the actions of the
Allied forces which fought in the Middle East and North Africa during World War
One. The record covers events between July, 1917 and October, 1918, which
eventually resulted in the collapse of the Ottoman defenses. This period saw
the rise to fame of such well known personalities as T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of
Arabia) and Edmund Allenby, and indeed the record begins with dispatches from
General Allenby's headquarters.
The current priority will be with the
posting of the headquarters dispatches, followed by the maps and campaign
outlines. The records of service will probably be posted last, although we may
also alternate them with the maps as the series proceeds. The record is
terrifically interesting and is well worth the time spent reading though it. A
reminder that the current events taking place worldwide are playing themselves
out on ground well trodden by past events. |
