EDITORS COMMENTS
Distant Fronts: A Historic Moment in Jerusalem's History - December 11, 1917 This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in Jerusalem's history, as General Edmund Allenby, 1st Viscount Allenby, addresses the city's population on the steps of the Tower of David. The scene unfolds prior to the existence of Christ's Church, in the presence of the Allied troops' staff. Allenby, a British soldier and statesman, had led the British Empire's Egyptian Expeditionary Force during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign of World War I. On this day, he made a significant announcement to the local people, civilians, and military personnel gathered before him. The Tower of David, an ancient citadel and fortification, serves as the backdrop for this historic event. The crowd, a mix of men and women, listens intently as Allenby speaks, marking the beginning of a new era for the city. The Allied forces, including French and British troops, stand at attention, reflecting the unity and determination of the Allied powers. This image, taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, 1924, is a testament to the historic significance of this moment in the Middle East's history. The concept of colonialism and the British Empire's influence on the region are evident, as Allenby delivers his proclamation to the assembled crowd.
