EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of a military camp nestled atop Tel Madh Hill above the serene waters of the Sea of Galilee in Israel during the final months of World War I. The year is 1918, and it is believed that this camp was home to the Australian Mounted Division as they prepared for their advance towards Damascus. The hillside is dotted with tents and makeshift structures, providing shelter for the weary soldiers who had traveled far from their homeland. The rugged terrain of the hill provides a stark contrast to the tranquil waters of the Sea of Galilee below, with its gentle lapping waves reflecting the sun's rays. In the distance, the domes of Tiberias, an ancient city located on the shores of the lake, can be seen rising above the buildings and structures of the city. The city, with its rich history and religious significance, would have provided a sense of connection to the past for the soldiers as they prepared for the battles ahead. The military camp at Tel Madh Hill represents a pivotal moment in history, as the Australian Mounted Division played a crucial role in the Allied forces' advance towards the Middle East during World War I. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during this time and the complex history of the region.
