EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the momentous entry of General Edmund Allenby into Jerusalem on the 11th of December, 1917 during World War One. The image portrays Allenby, a British General, riding triumphantly on horseback through the Jaffa Gate, which marks the ancient eastern entrance to the Old City of Jerusalem. The scene is filled with a sense of jubilation and relief as Allenby's troops, along with a crowd of local residents and British officials, cheer and wave flags. The liberation of Jerusalem from Ottoman Turkish rule was a significant milestone in the Middle Eastern campaign of World War One, and marked the end of centuries of foreign occupation for the city's Jewish and Christian communities. The date of Allenby's entry, December 11, 1917, is etched in history as a turning point in the conflict, paving the way for the eventual establishment of the State of Israel. This iconic photograph is a testament to the courage and determination of Allenby and his troops, and serves as a reminder of the profound impact of World War One on the modern Middle East.
