New light will be shed on the key role of Scottish regiments in the one of the 20th century’s least known but most successful military campaigns, in a talk at Stirling Castle.
The lecture, taking place on Saturday, April 9 and entitled ‘Logistics, Manoeuvre, Success: Allenby’s Palestine Campaign’, is the last in a series of well-attended historical talks held at the newly refurbished Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Museum in the castle’s King’s Old Building.
Delivered by Colonel AK Miller, the Saturday morning talk will examine the part played by Territorial Force soldiers from the Royal Scots, Royal Scots Fusiliers, Kings Own Scottish Borderers, and Cameronians together with the 5th (Renfrewshire) Battalion of The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in defeating a German-Turkish alliance in a series of decisive battles that led to the control of Palestine in 1917-1918.
