With our army in Palestine
by Antony Bluett
About the author
Antony Bluett is known chiefly for With Our Army in Palestine, a firsthand account of service in the Middle East during the First World War. Contemporary editions and public-domain records identify the book as a 1919 publication, and the text presents him as a former member of "A" Battery, Honourable Artillery Company, who also served with the Egyptian Camel Transport Corps.
His writing stands out for its direct, observant tone. Rather than reading like a distant military history, With Our Army in Palestine follows marches, camp life, battles, and movement across Egypt, Palestine, and nearby regions from the perspective of someone close to the ground.
Reliable biographical detail beyond that book is scarce in the sources I could confirm. Based on the material available, he is best understood as a British memoirist of the Great War whose lasting reputation rests on this eyewitness narrative of the Palestine campaign.
