2023 N & M Press reprint (original pub 1920). SB. xxiii+ xiv + 394 pp + 29 of maps & illus.(27 in colour).Published Price £35 It was originally planned to complete the Official History of the Egypt and Palestine campaign in two volumes, with this second volume taking the story from the appointment of Allenby to the command of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force (EEF) in June 1917, to the conclusion of the armistice with Turkey. But it was only after Allenbyâs arrival that the campaign really took off, with all the major offensives and battles taking place during his period of command. It thus became clear that Volume II would need to be in two parts. This part covers the offensive at Gaza and Beersheba and the subsequent battles in the Judaean Hills for the capture and defence of Jerusalem, which lasted from the end of October to the end of December 1917 without a break. It continues into 1918 with the operations in the Jordan Valley in February 1918; first the capture of Jericho, then the two raids into Trans-Jordan with the important engagements between them, lasting until 4 May. At this point there was a real break in the campaign for the first time and it is here that Part I ends. The contents list includes Parts I and II and all the appendices are at the end of Part II.

2023 N & M Press reprint (original pub 1930). SB. 353 pp + 22 of maps & illus.(17 in colour).Published Price £35 Part II of the Official History of The Great War in the Middle East takes the story from May 1918 to the armistice. It begins with a summary of the Arab revolt against the Turks, which involved the exploits of Col. T.E. Lawrence âof Arabiaâ, and consisted of harassing attacks and sabotage of railways which drew off great numbers of the Turks to the benefit of the EEF. This was important because Allenby was being required to despatch British infantry battalions and Yeomanry regiments to France where the great German spring offensives had been launched in March. Indian battalions were set to replace the British ones, and the ensuing reorganisation of the EEF is described in some detail. The narrative continues with the final offensives - the battles of Megiddo, the operations of the Desert Mounted Corps, Chaytorâs Force, the pursuit through Syria and the capture of Damascus. An epilogue discusses the policy of the campaign, the strategy and the tactics. There are numerous appendices which apply to both Parts I and II, beginning with a tabular record of operations from June 1917 and containing orders of battle of the EEF in October 1917 and in September 1918 as well as that of the Turkish forces. There are examples of Force Orders, of corps operation orders and instructions, and finally there is a good index to both parts.

Erstausgabe
A set of five parts in total, comprising three text volumes and two bookform map cases. Uniformly bound, octavos, original red cloth with gilt spine lettering. The text volumes are profusely illustrated with field sketches, diagrams and photo plates. The first bookform box holds 15 folding maps, the second 23 folding maps. Complete as issued (with the additional folding map in rear sleeve of volume 2, part 1). One of the text volumes has sustained a localised perforated injury to the back board, another of the text volumes is a little flecked. Overall, the set is in very good condition, with the maps nicely preserved. First edition. An authoritative account of British military operations during the war in Egypt, Palestine and Syria, and of certain operations connected with them. These include the Arab Revolt against the Turks in the Hejaz, the expedition against Darfur, and the Turkish attacks on Aden. After a deadlock following the Second Battle of Gaza, the British War Cabinet decided upon invading Palestine and dispatched Allenby to succeed General Murray. The first volume is concerned with the defence of Egypt against invasion, with the concentration of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force in Egypt after the Gallipoli evacuation, advancing to the Turkish frontier, and the expulsion of enemy forces from the Sinai Peninsula. The second volume provides information on large-scale operations including the offensive at Gaza and Beersheba, and the subsequent battles in the Judaean Hills for the capture and defence of Jerusalem (from the end of October 1917 to December 1917). It continues with operations in the Jordan Valley in February 1918 until the date of the Armistice.
