First World War Black and White Photograph of Tel El Fara from Wadi Ghuzze
1917 - 1919A small black and white photograph showing a landscape view with a large hill in the background and a foreground of stony land. In this foreground there are various light horse troopers and horses. Some of the horses are being led and others are grouped together. Four (4) soldiers can be seen on the left-hand side of the image standing together. The image has a white border with some discoloration especially at the bottom. The reverse of the image has the proforma printing of part of a postcard and an inscription. There are a number of stains on the reverse.
Tel El Fara is about 18 miles West of Beersheba and was important as a station on the railway line from Rafa. This was at one time a main Turkish defence, but after its capture, the main signalling station in Palestine of the Australian Light Horse was established here. Also, thirty men of various units, who fell in the period June to October 1917, are buried in the Military Cemetery here.
