First World War Black and White Photograph of Mounted Light Horsemen by the Sea of Galilee
1918A small black and white photograph showing a group of mounted Light Horsemen riding along the side of a water body, which on the reverse of the photograph is identified as the Sea of Galilee. The terrain appears to be very rocky and, in the distance, there appears to be part of a bridge. The photograph has a small border and is in good condition, although the image does show many marks when enlarged. The reverse has part of the proforma printing for a postcard and a handwritten inscription in pen.
In September 1918, in Palestine, General Sir Edmund Allenby’s Egyptian Expeditionary Force (EEF) undertook a remarkable offensive that led to an advance of more than 500 kilometres in a little over a month. This astonishing victory, in which the Australian Light Horse regiments took part, destroyed three Ottoman armies and dramatically reshaped the Middle East. This image would have been taken at some point in this offensive.
