ABSTRACT
The British Campaign in Egypt and Palestine during the Great War (1916–18) was distinguished by several features which greatly differed from those of the warfare in the main theater of war, the Western Front. Mobile warfare, extensive use of cavalry and mounted formations, operational-logistic struggle against severe desert conditions and a constantly changing battle-ground were some of the characteristics marking the Egyptian Expeditionary Force (EEF) – the official title of the British and Commonwealth formations in this campaign.
