The Palestine Campaign 1916 - 18 : causes and consequences of a continuing historical neglect / Jean Bou.

There has, in recent years, been a vigorous and enthusiastic process of historical revisionism relating to British and Dominion armies fighting on the Western Front during the Great War. Focussing on this undoubtedly key theatre has inevitably meant that some aspects of the conflict have not had the attention that they perhaps deserve. The Palestine Campaign falls into this category and despite some efforts in recent years the history of this campaign has been largely left to the version of events established by the official histories. This paper will look into this and consider its implications.
