“With 100 sketches in colour, monochrome and line made by the author in the autumn and winter of 1918, when sent on duty to Palestine by the admiralty for the Imperial war museum” reads the informing sub-title of this book. The author further informs us that hostilities were over when he reached his destination and he had to hurry up with his pictures and get over the ground as quickly as possible. He thus obtained glimpses of things and places from every point of view without rhyme or reason and found, in sorting out his drawings, that he was much better off than he would have been with more leisure. The pictures with his diary and explanatory notes make the story of the “Last crusade.” The contents are: Over old roads; Pisgah Heights; The streets of Askelon; Chariots of iron; Abana and Pharpar; The glory of Lebanon; The coasts of Tyre and Sidon; Sea-plane ships; The gates of Gaza; Armageddon; The valley of death; In terra pax.
