HOW JERUSALEM WAS WON IBD

Sinopse

''How Jerusalem Was Won'' is a historical account of the capture of Jerusalem during World War I. Written by W.T. Massey, a New Zealand journalist who served as a war correspondent during the conflict, the book provides a detailed and vivid description of the events leading up to the capture of the city by British forces under the command of General Allenby. Massey draws on his own experiences and eyewitness accounts to recreate the atmosphere of the battle and the struggles of the soldiers on both sides. He also provides insights into the political and military strategies that led to the capture of Jerusalem and the impact of this event on the war and the Middle East. The book is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in military history, the First World War, or the history of the Middle East.It was a hot bright afternoon. The dispositions having been made, the Bucks Hussars and Dorset Yeomanry got out of the wadi and commenced their mounted attack, the Berks battery in the meantime having registered on certain points. The Bucks Hussars, in column of squadrons extended to four yards interval, advanced at a trot from the wadi, which was 3000 yards distant from the ridge which was their objective. Two machine guns were attached to the Bucks and two to the Dorsets, and the other guns under Captain Patron were mounted in a position which that officer had chosen in the wadi El Ghor from which they could bring to bear a heavy fire almost up to the moment the Bucks should be on the ridge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
