Been lounging around on the internet for a few hours tonight, and came across this.
This was the first time that a Christian army had marched through the streets of Jerusalem since the Middle Ages during The Crusades.
General Allenby was a bad ass general and earned his keep in the Second Boer War, before going on to play a big role in the victory of The Middle Eastern Front during WW1.
The Middle Eastern front often gets overshadowed by the Western Front, which is a shame, because a lot of the geopolitical situations that are going on in the Middle East are the direct results from the aftermath of The First World War. The modern Middle East was born after The First World War, no question about it.
Truly, incredible footage. What an incredible moment this must've been for General Allenby and his soldiers.
For God and For Empire. This, is what the Brits are capable of, at their finest.
