On this day in 1918 the First Amman Raid ended. It was mounted by the British 60th Infantry Division, the ANZAC Mounted Division and the Imperial Came Brigade with the intention of inflicting casualties on Turkish forces and cutting railway communications with Damascus. The attack on Amman itself began on the morning of 27 March. The force caused severe damage on the railway but Turkish resistance was so strong that British forces withdrew on 30 March. This image shows the 5th Australian light Horse Brigade, on alert, in a section of the Bridgehead, established on the eastern side of the Jordan after the first Amman raid. The Turks suffered in an attempt to capture it from the 1st Light Horse Brigade in April 1918.
