Field Marshal Edmund Allenby was a distinguished British Army officer who played crucial roles in the Second Boer War and the First World War. He led the British Empire’s Egyptian Expeditionary Force during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign, successfully capturing key territories such as Beersheba, Jaffa, and Jerusalem. His forces occupied the Jordan Valley, defeated the Ottoman Yildirim Army Group at the Battle of Megiddo, and pursued into northern Syria. Allenby’s leadership was instrumental in the EEF’s successful campaigns, and his subsequent role as High Commissioner in Egypt further solidified his legacy.
