Description
Throughout 1917, Australians were involved in three major battles for the town of Gaza on the coast of the Mediterranean. These were 26 March, 17 April and 2-7 November 1917. Lambert visited the site in March 1918 and was shown places where Australians had fought as it was considered "most important that these should be recorded pictorially being as you know the scenes of fighting where the Australian & New Zealand troops did conspicuous work."
