Bersheeba, ISRAEL - The 2 November 1917 Balfour Declaration granted to the Jewish People a National Home in the Land of Israel. The document, however, could not be realistic aslong as the Land was occupied by the Ottoman Turks and their WW1 German ally.

The ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) were under British command, led by General Allenby. The conquest of Bersheeba opened the route for, as he claimed, the “Liberation” of Jerusalem.
