The 1917 Battle of Mughar Ridge: Allenby's Forgotten Victory
Om avsnittet
Before Allenby's famous entry into Jerusalem, the Egyptian Expeditionary Force fought a decisive battle at Mughar Ridge in November 1917. This episode unpacks the strategic importance of the three-day engagement that broke the Ottoman defensive line in southern Palestine. We explore the role of Australian and New Zealand mounted troops, the use of cavalry in modern warfare, and how the victory paved the way for the capture of Jaffa and Jerusalem. Learn about General Edmund Allenby's tactics, the Ottoman commander Mustafa Fevzi Pasha, and the impact on local Palestinian towns like Ramla and Lydda (al-Ludd). We also touch on the political aftermath, including the Balfour Declaration's practical implications on the ground.
