A propos de cet article

Colour printed paper map 62x86cm. Good only, quite neatly folded, worn at the edges with short closed tears, creasing and marks. Compiled, drawn and reproduced by 512 Forward Survey Company, Royal Engineers, July 1942 from 1:100,000 Egypt, gridded with "Red" Grid and Palestine Grid. This shows northern Sinai including its capital El Arish, bounded by the Mediterranean coast from Sabkhet (Lake) El-Bardawil (NW) to Rafah on the Mandatory Palestine border (NE), inland to Wadi El Saheimi (S). Relief is shown by hachures, contours and spot heights. Details include the Sinai Military Railway with its stations named along the coast, a section of the main Ismailia to Beersheba road, several desert roads with natural foundation and tracks or paths unfit for wheeled traffic, ruins, wadis, palm groves, etc. It was issued during the latterly named "200 Days of Dread" from Spring to November 1942, which began with the Allied retreat towards Tobruk, leading to fears among the Yishuv the Afrika Korps would soon overrun British possessions in the Middle East. During 1941-42 the Haganah devised its "Plan of the North", a last stand should the Afrika Korps force a British retreat into Syria and Iraq.

The Mount Carmel region had been declared a closed military area in early 1942, with massive infrastructural development underway. The 200 Days of Dread and the need to prepare against possible invasion ended with Allied victory in the Second Battle of El Alamein on 11 November.…
