• Sommario/riassunto: This historical account, originally published in 1921, chronicles the New Zealand Mounted Brigade's involvement in the Sinai and Palestine campaigns during World War I. Compiled by Major A. Wilkie, the book features introductions by prominent military leaders, such as General Sir Archibald Murray and Field Marshal Sir Edmund Allenby, who commend the brigade's energy, resourcefulness, and bravery. The narrative details their engagements in significant battles, including Romani, Gaza, and Beersheba, highlighting their transition from defensive to offensive operations. The book serves as both a tribute to the New Zealand troops' valor and a historical document of their contributions to the war effort. It is intended for readers interested in military history and the role of New Zealand forces in World War I.
