EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bravery and determination of the British mounted brigade during the Charge at El-Mughar on 13th November 1917. Part of the larger Battle of Junction Station, this crucial engagement marked the British advance on Jerusalem during World War One. The railway junction at El-Mughar, located between the Turkish Seventh Army around Jerusalem and the Eighth Army on the coast, was the strategic objective of the battle. The scene portrayed in this image shows the courageous charge of the mounted brigade, consisting of the 1st and 2nd Australian Light Horse Regiments, the New Zealand Mounted Rifles, and the 3rd and 4th Light Horse Regiments of the Australian Light Horse. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, the soldiers are seen charging towards the Turkish positions with unwavering resolve. The dusty terrain, punctuated by rocks and scrubland, adds to the raw intensity of the moment. The Charge at El-Mughar was a significant turning point in the campaign, as the British forces successfully captured the railway junction and cut off the Turkish forces' supply line. This victory paved the way for the eventual capture of Jerusalem on 9th December 1917. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers during this pivotal moment in World War One history. The date of this photograph is 13th November 1917, and it is an essential addition to any collection documenting the military campaigns of World War One or the history of the Middle East. This powerful image is a testament to the bravery and tenacity of the soldiers involved and the importance of the Battle of Junction Station in the larger context of the war.
