EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Palace of Justice in Damascus, Syria, during the occupation by the Sherifian Army in October 1918. The Palace of Justice, a grand architectural landmark in Damascus, stands proudly in the background as soldiers from Prince Feisal's Sherifian Hejaz Army and the Desert Mounted Corps, led by the renowned British officer T.E. Lawrence, or Lawrence of Arabia, gather in the foreground. The city had been encircled by the allied forces following a successful cavalry pursuit along the two main roads to Damascus, marking the end of Turkish rule in Syria during the First World War. The capture of Damascus was a significant moment in the Arab Revolt, which aimed to establish an Arab state in the Middle East under the leadership of the Hashemite dynasty. The camels and horses of the soldiers add to the authenticity of the scene, transporting us back in time to this pivotal moment in history. This photograph is a testament to the bravery and determination of the soldiers involved in the Arab Revolt and the enduring impact of their efforts on the political landscape of the Middle East.
