| Summary | "With Our Army in Palestine" by Antony Bluett is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the experiences of troops involved in the campaigns in Egypt and Palestine during World War I, focusing on the trials faced by the Egyptian Expeditionary Force. It provides insight into the attributes of the soldiers, the harsh conditions they endured, and anecdotes that reflect the spirit of camaraderie among the troops. The opening of the work sets the stage for the narrative, describing the early struggles of soldiers as they embarked on a challenging voyage to Mersa Matruh in Christmas 1915 aboard the troublesome ship, the "Missa". Bluett emphasizes the difficult conditions soldiers faced, from overcrowding and seasickness to the chaotic initial engagements with the Senussi tribe. As Bluett recounts their arrival on land and the disillusionment that followed, it becomes clear that the book will shed light on the realities of war beyond the glamour often romanticized at home, focusing instead on the resilience and spirit of the men involved amidst their challenging environment.
