Summary "The Desert Mounted Corps" by R. M. P. Preston is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book details the cavalry operations in Palestine and Syria from 1917 to 1918 during World War I, showcasing the significant role of mounted troops in these military campaigns. Through meticulous documentation, it likely explores the experiences of the soldiers involved and the strategic military maneuvers that led to the eventual success against the Turkish forces. The beginning of "The Desert Mounted Corps" provides a vital context for the military operations, starting with General Allenby's reassignment to command the Egyptian Expeditionary Force in June 1917, amidst dwindling British prestige in the East. It outlines the challenges faced due to previous military setbacks and the fortification efforts made by Turkish forces, building towards the main objective of capturing Jerusalem. As the narrative unfolds, it sets up the expectations of the campaign and introduces the complex dynamics of military strategy, logistics, and the harsh conditions the troops endured, laying the groundwork for further detailed accounts of the battles that followed.
