The Zion Mule Corps in Gallipoli by the CO. "Lt.-Col. Patterson... was put in command of the Zion Mule Corps, which was recruited from Russian Jews who had fled to Egypt from Palestine. This formation, about 500 strong, was equipped with pack mules for transport work during the Gallipoli campaign. Very good work it did. Its commander does not, however, confine himself to its career but speculates at large upon the policy and strategy of the whole campaign, and has some interesting notes on the country." Orig. red cloth (second issue), near fine copy with 'Hutchinson's Colonial Library' in black at foot of sp., o/w a true UK 1st Ed., with loosely inserted printed slip of contemp. press notices.
