Mecca railway line tour and bridge fighting in Palestine
Corporal W West recounts a grueling march from Richon to Jericho, then crossing the Jordan by pontoon as Turks and enemy Arabs harass the column. He notes heavy losses among horses and Egyptians, harsh heat in the Jordan Valley, day and night fighting for six days, and keen but inexperienced Indian troops. He mentions Mecca Arabs’ independence efforts, a dramatic escape by a 30-man troop, and observations on local terrain, climate, and flora.
