The Desert Mounted Corps: An Account of the Cavalry Operations in Palestine and Syria, 1917-1918Bog om det engelske ørkenkavaleri's militære opgaver i Mellemøsten under Den 1. Verdenskrig 1914-18. Regimentet bestod af soldater fra såvel England som dets kolonier og var underlagt den engelske general Allenby, som fik kommandoen i Ægypten i 1917, og han oprettede de to armékorps af beredent infanteri til bekæmpelse af tyrkerne. Almindeligvis blev der brugt infanteri til kampen mod fjenden før kavaleriet angreb, og forfatteren fortæller om sammenstødene med de flygtende tyrkere ved de mange oaser, tropperne passerede. Han fortæller også om de almindelige vilkår på stedet, hvor heste og mennesker er stærkt afhængige af forsyninger. |
