With the London Regiment in the Middle East, 1917

Om With the London Regiment in the Middle East, 1917

A personal account and description of the campaign to take JerusalemThis first- hand account by an officer of the London Regiment recounts the war the infantry of the 60th Division knew during the campaign in the Middle East against the Ottoman Turkish Empire during the First World War. Coldicott's narrative begins in November, 1917, after the capture of the wells and materiel at Sheria and the fall of Gaza. The reader accompanies the Londoners as they march northwards across the plains to the Judean Hills and on towards Jerusalem. The final part of Coldicott's narrative concerns the taking of Jerusalem, and he describes the assault on the Mount of Olives up to the moment when he is wounded in the arm. Coldicott's account is full of acute observation and dialogue that brings the personalities of his Londoners vividly to life. As the author's experiences were cut short by his wound this unique Leonaur edition also includes a description of the fall of Jerusalem, when Allenby symbolically entered the city on foot through the Jaffa Gate, by military historian Edmund Dane. Illustrated with maps and photographs.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
