Lord Allenby
The result of the operations in Palestine after Lord Allenby took over the command justified his appointment in the minds of his own troops. But to the natives of Palestine his coming in the capacity of a commander earned a mystic significance, for the Arabic form of his name, "Allah en Nebi," meant "The Prophet of God," and thus appeared the complement, in the eyes of a superstitious people, to the old prophecy that when the waters of the Nile flowed into Palestine the land would be freed from the domination of the Turk - a condition that had been fulfilled by the construction of a pipeline across the desert.
