WORLD WAR ONE – PALESTINE FRONT – Driver T.H. ROBERTS, 5th Cavalry Division, Egyptian Expeditionary Force. Photograph album. Palestine: 1918-1919.
Unusual images of the Palestine Front, including two photographs of shot-down German aircraft, at Junction Station, Palestine. Although the album mostly contains scenic shots with a civilian setting, it does include military images such as Turkish prisoners of war, an ambulance convoy en route to Jerusalem, a mosque receiving incoming fire, and a disabled 'Jericho Jane' (i.e. a Turkish 15cm Krupp K16 field gun) lying on its side in a wadi. Although the album focuses on Palestine with images of Jerusalem, Ramleh and Bethlehem, it covers quite a wide geographical spread, with images of Gibraltar, Malta, Damascus, Suez and Cairo among others.
143 photographs (most 55 x 80mm or 60 x 100mm, a few larger and smaller) and 13 postcards mounted on 13 leaves, typescript contents list loosely inserted, oblong octavo (205 x 255mm). Original cloth-backed boards (extremities rubbed, covers abraded, rear inner hinge broken). Sold with two Great War 1914-1918 medals with ribbons, engraved 'T-390096 Dvr TH Roberts'.
