EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the arid landscape of Palestine, Australian troops courageously advance during the Second Battle of Gaza in the First World War on 19 April 1917. The sun beats down mercilessly, casting a golden hue over the dry, dusty terrain as the men and their horses move forward. The Middle East campaign was a challenging one for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC), who faced extreme heat and unfamiliar conditions. The Second Battle of Gaza was a crucial moment in the Middle Eastern theatre of the war, with the Allied forces aiming to push back the Ottoman Turkish army and secure the vital railway hub of Beersheba. In this image, the Australian troops, their faces set with determination, charge forward, their horses' hooves kicking up clouds of dust. The scene is reminiscent of the iconic ANZAC spirit, with the soldiers' uniforms bearing the marks of the grueling desert conditions. The Second Battle of Gaza was a hard-fought battle, with both sides suffering heavy losses. However, the Allied forces ultimately emerged victorious, paving the way for further advances in the region. This powerful photograph captures the raw determination and resilience of the Australian troops as they bravely faced the challenges of the battlefield, making it a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War.
