Followed by an orderly, the staff officer rode about for some little time, now consulting his map, now scanning with the unending camel scrub and sand. Suddenly zip, zip, zip! several rifle shots rang out, and the officer half fell from his horse, then recovering himself, headed about. The couple had apparently ridden right on to a Turkish post, and the orderly needed no second word of command as to the direction In which he was now to proceed. Before following him, however, staff officer swung round two or three times in an effort to recover his haversack, which had dropped to the ground as he had tilted over when hit. But the Turkish fire was becoming more rapid, and he apparently was getting weaker. s Finally, the haversack had to be left there on the sand under the .noses of the Turks.

In the push for Jerusalem, General Allenbys grandiose plan hinged mainly, If not entirely, on the swift and sure reduction of Beersheba. Unless this were effected, the whole action stood In danger of fizzling out. Well, the Turks got wind of General Allenbys plan, and shortly before Z day the day of our offensive they moved a division from Gaza across .into reserve at Beersheba. The move about balanced the opposing a forces, numerically, in the vital sector, and so it became absolutely necessary to do something to cause the Turks to move this division back to Gaza again or, for that matter, to any part of the line as long as it was away from Beersheba. The head of the enemys intelligence service opposite was one Captain Schiller. An intelligence service exists to find out what your opponent contemplates Beer-sheb- doing next wrong, that theyre going to attack Gaza first, not at Beersheba?
