November 1917: A Proud Soldier and Captured Turkish Guns from the Battle of Gaza during World War 1 Amid the desolate landscape of a war-torn Gaza, a soldier stands proudly next to a line of captured Turkish guns. The date is November 1917, and the Great War is raging on. The soldier, dressed in his military uniform, exudes a sense of triumph and victory, his posture firm and confident. Behind him, a railway track stretches into the distance, a reminder of the strategic importance of this region during the conflict. The Turkish guns, wheel-mounted and large, are a testament to the fierce battle that had taken place just a few days earlier. The Battle of Gaza, fought between November 1 and 7, 1917, saw the British Empire's Egyptian Expeditionary Force, led by General Edmund Allenby, successfully capturing Gaza from the Ottoman Turkish forces. The battle marked a turning point in the Sinai and Palestine Campaign, which ultimately led to the end of Ottoman rule in the region. The soldier's gaze is fixed on the guns, his eyes reflecting the pride and satisfaction of a job well done. The captured artillery, with their wheels still in place, are a symbol of the military might that had been brought to bear on the battlefield. The scene is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the significance of the battles fought in this region.
