The Battle of Gaza from The Official History of the Great War
Wednesday 28th March 1917 from
our correspondent in the field
We understand
in a wire from 1st/5th Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment that no members of the
Battalion became casualties in the Battle of Gaza on 26th March. They were
south of the town in the rear of the attacking 53rd (Welsh) Division near a
narrow, dry ravine called Wadi Ghuzze.
Yesterday the
Battalion was ordered to concentrate near a place called Tel el Armar, which
they did partly under shell fire. In the evening they marched to a place called
Nuseirat, a few miles south-west of Gaza and bivouacked. They are evidently
prepared for more offensive preparations.
