From: Field-Dodgson, Ernest Robert, 1926-1999 :World War I photograph albums compiled by trooper C L Crowley

Reference: PA1-o-170

Description: Photo album, World War I, ex late trooper Crowley, C. L. Canterbury Mounted Rifles (34th Reinforcements). Images taken in Jordan, Palestine, Egypt, and Turkey. One group relates to the Gallipoli Peninsula. Photographer possibly Crowley himself. The images in this album were probably taken at the very end of the war in the Middle East, and reflect what happened after the Armistice with Turkey on the 31st of October 1918. The Gallipoli episode in the album relates to the Canterbury Mounted Rifles, and the 2nd and 7th Australian Light Horse Brigades leaving Kantara on the 27th of November 1918 for the Gallipoli Peninsula. The purpose of this was to take part in the Allied occupation of the Dardanelles and Constantinople and specifically to see that Turkey was carrying out its commitments under the terms of the Armistice in the southern part of the Gallipoli Peninsula. They did not take their horses on this operation. During this tour of duty most of the troops took leave in Constantinople. They returned to Egypt in January 1919, by which time the New Zealand Mounted Rifles had were encamped at Rafa. They rejoined the rest of the Brigade at Rafa on the 23rd of January 1919. They remained in Egypt to help control civil disturbances, so that the New Zealand Mounted Rifles were not disbanded until June 1919, and the soldiers began their journey home that month and in July.

Reference: PA1-q-604

Description: Album is the first part of a record of the British campaign in north-eastern Egypt and Palestine from 1916-1918. It begins with views of Alexandria and Cairo where Australian and New Zealand Troops from Gallipoli began their rest, and recovery. There are views of the troops at the military training camp at Zeitoun where they were retrained and equipped for the Western Front and the defence of Egypt. In relation to the Palestine campaign, the album covers the driving of the Turks and their German allies out of north-eastern Egypt, the capture of the oases of Quatia and Romani, and the subsequent capture of El Arish. The album is a very good record of these events with much incidental detail. Cities, architecture, ruins, places, the locals, farming, crops and farm animals are all included. Most usefully it is a good record of the military operations from the perspective of a New Zealand participant Arrangement: Negatives relating to prints in this album should be among those registered at F 178589 1/2 to F 178976 1/2, and F 178993 1/2 to F 179124 1/2 Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).

From: Powles family : Papers

Reference: PA1-o-813

Description: This album relates to the British campaign against the Turks in north-eastern Egypt and Palestine, 1916-1917. Charles Powles compiled a detailed record of his experience of these events up to the taking of Jerusalem in albums PA1-q-604, PA1-q-605. This Album should be read in relation to them. They are more of a sequential record of the military campaign; this has a greater focus on people and scenic places. It begins with Cairo, then moves north and finishes in Jaffa. Jaffa was in control of the British forces by November 1917, but British possession of the town was not secured until late December, after the capture of Jerusalem. Because Jerusalem does not appear in this album, the Jaffa pictures were probably taken in November 1917. Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).

Description: Album is the second part of a two-album record of the British campaigns in north-eastern Egypt and Palestine, 1916-1918. It is a record of the Palestine campaign after the capture of El Arish. Thus its story really begins at Rafa on the Egyptian/Palestine boarder and ends with General Allenby's triumphal entry into the city of "Jerusalem the Blessed" (his words) on 11 December 1917. As a record it presents a detailed account of the actions, movements, encampments, places, troops, countryside, and locals as experienced by a New Zealand officer participant. The photographs are well documented and identified. In relation to place names, spellings from books and maps have been used. Album spellings have been added to the "non preferred" slot in the place records, so that they are linked to the official place name spellings and can thus be used in a search.
