Maghdabah Capture by Australian New Zealand Forces
General Chauvel led a swift dawn offensive at Maghdabah near El Arish with the First and Second Australian Light Horse Brigades the New Zealand Mounted Rifle Brigade and supporting units. Despite desert hardship and camel convoy delays the allied force enveloped and stormed the Turkish redoubts. By 4 pm the Turkish commander surrendered after heavy shelling and air bombardment. The fall of Maghdabah renders many Turkish positions in Northern Sinai untenable.
