17 ноя 1917 г. - Battle for Jerusalem

Описание:

The success in the third battle of Gaza allowed the EEF to advance further into Palestine for another month before the Ottomans could regroup.
In that time, EEF units under the command of General Sir Edmund Allenby captured the port of Jaffa, most of southern Judea and, on 9 December 1917, the city of Jerusalem.
British Prime Minister Lloyd George welcomed the victory as a 'Christmas' morale booster after costly battles on the Western Front that year.
