Te Pakanga o Romani
He nui te mahi a te ope hōiho o Niu Tīreni me Ahitereiria i te Koraha o Sinai – ka eke kāmera hoki.
Ka tūhono atu te Ope Eke Hōiho o Niu Tīreni ki ngā ope taua mai i te Emepaea o Piritana, ka puta ko te Egyptian Expeditionary Force (EEF). Ko te whāinga nui kia whakaputaina ngā taua o Ottoman i te Kūrae o Sinai. Kia pai ai tō rātou noho, ka whakatūria e te EEF tētahi ara rerewhenua me tētahi kōrere wai mai i Kantara i Ihipa ki El Arish i te whenua i waenga i Sinai me Parihitini.
Tekau mā ono mano te nui o te ope taua o Ottoman me te iwi o Bedouin i ngana ki te patu i te pokapū matua o te ara engari, ka hinga rātou i te Pakanga o Romani (i te 3–5 o Ākuhata). Ko te Pakanga o Romani anake te whawhai nui ki Sinai.
He wāhi nui tā ngā kaieke hōiho o Niu Tīreni me Ahitereiria i Romani i te roanga o te riri ki Sinai. Nā te hora o te whenua he take nui tō ngā ope hōiho ki Sinai. Ehara i te mea ko te ope eke hōiho anake ērā, e 400 anō ngā hōia o Niu Tīreni i eke kāmera i te taha o te EEF!
