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.

Description: Poster written in Judeo-Arabic, English and French compares and contrasts the benevolent and respectful attitude of British troops towards inhabitants of a captured Jerusalem, with the punitive attitude of German troops after their capture of Holnon in 1915, when inhabitants were threatened with exile and physical punishment if they did not work in the fields. At top left is the text of General Allenby's proclamation to the inhabitants of Jerusalem after the British defeat of the Ottoman Turks and seizure of Jerusalem in December 1917. Alongside it in French at the right, is the stern edict presented by the German Commandant Colonel Gloss when he took Holnon. The middle portion is a commentary in Judeo-Arabic (ie a Jewish dialect of Arabic written in Hebrew script). Below, both Allenby's and Gloss' pronouncements are translated into Judeo-Arabic. Two copies held. Quantity: 1 colour art print(s). Physical Description: Letterpress work, 735 x 485 mm. Provenance: One copy previously owned by the Dominion Museum, Wellington

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. Arrangement: Negatives for the prints in this album should be among those registered at F 178589 1/2 to F 178976 1/2, and F178993 1/2 to F 179124 1/2 Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).
