Te hinganga o Ottoman

E 60,000 ngā hōia o te Egyptian Expeditionary Force (EEF) i tukuna ki te Pae o te Uru ki te whakahoki i ngā kōkiringa a Tiamani i te wā o te kōanga.

I mahue iho te Kamupene o Rarotonga (e 300 ngā Hōia Kuki Airani) hei tautoko i ngā toenga o te EEF. Ko tā ratou mahi mōrearea, he kawe hāmanu ki te pae o te riri.

Ko tā te Pirikēti Raiwhara Hōiho o Niu Tīreni, he ārai i te pae o te riri i te riu o Hōrana (e raru pai ana i te mate eku). E rua ngā kakari ki Amman i ngā marama o Maehe, o Mei hoki, kīhai i eke.

Nō te Hepetema, kua rite anō te EEF mō te pakanga nui. Ko te Riri ki Megiddo (19–25 Hepetema) te wikitōria nui a Piritana i te pakanga. E toru ngā ope taua Ottoman ka parekuratia. E waru tekau mano ngā mauhere. Ka haoa te whenua tapu o Parihitini.

Kotahi marama anō, ka tata ngā hōia eke hoiho o te EEF (nō Niu Tīreni ētahi) ki Tāke. Kei raro ngā Ottoman e putu ana, ka karangahia he rangaawatea.
