About This Book

A first-person memoir recounts service in the Egyptian and Palestinian campaigns, describing skirmishes with local insurgents and larger operations around Gaza and Beersheba. It interweaves accounts of planning and movement with daily realities: embarkation, horse and camel transport, railway and road logistics, bivouacs in wadis, and the effects of climate and shortages on morale. The narrative balances tactical description with anecdote and observation, supplemented by photographs and sketches that illustrate camps, convoys, and the improvised measures used by troops to cope with hardship and the demands of desert warfare.
