A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

He served throughout the whole of the operations of which he writes, and had considerable previous experience in the Sinai Campaign, in which the Horse Artillery of the Desert Column played so conspicuous a part. This History commences with the re-organisation of the British Troops in the Egyptian theatre of the War, on. Sir Edmund Allenby taking over command in June 1917. The troops operating East of the Suez Canal had hitherto been known as the Eastern Force, which had been successively commanded by Sir Herbert Lawrence, Sir Charles Dobell and Sir Philip Chetwode, who were again directly under the orders of the Commander-in-C hief in Cairo. The advanced troops of Eastern Force, viz., all the available Cavalry, Horse Artillery and Camel Corps, with from one to two Divisions of I nfantry, had been organised into what was called The Desert Column. Sir Edmund Allenby decided to take command of the troops in the Eastern Field himself. The available Infantry was formed into two Army Corps, and the Cavalry of the Desert Colunm was formed into a Cavalry Corps of three Divisions (subsequently increased to four on the arrival of the Indian Cavalry from France early in 1918). The name of the original Desert Column was preserved as far as possible in the title of the new Cavalry Corps, as most of the troops composing it had fought throughout the Sinai Campaign, and by them much had already been accomplished.
