Surrender of Jerusalem to British, Palestine, WW1
The surrender of Jerusalem to the British, on the Lifta-Jerusalem Road, during the First World War. The Mayor of Jerusalem, Hussein Salim Al-Husseini, stands at the centre (with walking stick). To his immediate right is Sergeant Frederick Hurcomb, and further to his right is Sergeant James Sedgewick, both of the 2/19th Battalion of the London Regiment, 60th Division. A man at the back holds a white flag. The sergeants were taken by surprise, and refused to take the offered surrender document; fortunately Brigadier-General CF Watson, commanding the 180th Infantry Brigade, entered the town, and accepted the document. Date: 9 December 1917
