EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a moment of honor and recognition during a ceremony in Abassan, South Palestine, in August 1917. In the image, General Allenby can be seen adorning Captain Harper with the D. C. M (Distinguished Conduct Medal), an esteemed military decoration. Field Marshal Allenby, known for his leadership of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force during World War I, is depicted in his uniform bestowing this prestigious award upon Captain Robin Harper. The New Zealander officer commanded the Machine Gun Squadron and played a significant role in the conflict. The panoramic view showcases soldiers from various nationalities gathered to witness this solemn occasion. Australian troops stand alongside Palestinian soldiers as they watch their fellow comrade being recognized for his exceptional bravery and service. This snapshot not only immortalizes a specific event but also symbolizes the camaraderie among nations united by war. It serves as a testament to the sacrifices made by these brave men who fought on foreign soil during one of history's most devastating conflicts. Preserved by Rhodes' lens and now held by the Palestine Exploration Fund in London, this powerful image offers us a glimpse into an important chapter of our shared past - reminding us of both heroism and sacrifice that defined World War I.
