When an American officer asked a French officer about the French's preference for horses reciting the advantages of the truck (such as in this video), the French officer replied: "ah, monsieur, mais les champignons!" (horse manure makes excellent material for growing mushrooms).

Ironically enough, though, the French were the other pioneers in military motoring - remember the Taxicabs of the Marne? Their Renault and Latil trucks were highly regarded and they were the only nation besides the US to develop a practical four-wheel drive vehicles. They also invented the halftrack, though that came postwar.

Very true - The Latils proved to be vital to the French Army as artillery tractors, moving heavy guns along the front as needed. It's one of the things that made the separated short offensives that the Allies used in the Summer of 1918 to take place. They could shift guns, men, and supplies faster than the Germans could react.

Advantages of horses over trucks: 1. Horses have cool names like ‘Duke Salvador’ and Flying Father’ 2. Horses participated in every crusade, trucks haven’t been in any crusades 3. Horses eat healthy foods like apples and oats , trucks, as far as I’m aware, don’t eat healthy at all 4. Horses haven’t contributed to global warming, unlike those stinking trucks

Indeed Tomais, now here's another one especially for you from the Palestine front. A 100 years ago, on the 29th of September 1918, the small remnants of the 4th, 7th and 8th Ottoman Army, a 6000 men strong force, reached the outskirts of Damascus. They were bombed by 5 aircrafts of the ANZAC. On the 30th of September, near the village of Kiswe about 30 Km south of Damascus, 1 aircraft saw the last of this unhappy retreat. About 4000 infantry and cavalry were scattered along the north bank of the Zabirani river, under the hill of Jebel Aswad. The pilot dived at them, but the Turks remained sitting resignedly on the ground, too exhausted to move. They had run to a finish. The Australians [the pilot and the observer], in pity, abstained from firing on them. This is mercy to the enemy.

The Palestine Front has been a long forgotten campaign of a long forgotten war. It's great to see their deeds, and losses, remembered.

As a Lebanese can you ask Rabih to give you sources about the famine that happened in Mount Lebanon ?

I heard that café Liégeois was first called café Viennois, but as Liège was resisting so well and keeping the Germans from reaching Paris, the French changed the name to café Liégeois out of gratitude.

The most people know is 'the lighthorse charge' and not the crazy camel charges at romani/rafa and the stuff that went on in the Sinai (slogging across the desert, hunting and fighting for wells), then the progress up from gaza to damascus and thee interaction with the Arabs and TE Lawrence. Lawrence was supposed to 'capture damascus', and the ANZACs were told to wait for him to enter first, but he turned up late and the ANZACs took Damascus instead.

Started working on the doctrine for a mobile army, the trucks were not only important but without them that war would have dragged on longer, with them you could bring real force to the fight and most important keep the army supplied. The only downside is you need to that the industrial capacity to make them, the United States had that in Spades and the oil to fuel them again the United States at the time had the oil in spades. These vehicles were a relatively new thing when the First War came about.

Almost true - After the Great War, the U.S. Army consolidated its 3-ton class truck to 2 types - the FWD, and the Liberty (A 2 wheel drive 3-tonner). With a bit of modernization - most notably switching to pneumatic tires when they became practical, they stayed in service into the 1930s. In Britain, There was an FWD subsidiary formed after the War - It was taken over by AEC, and the design morphed into the AEC Matador used by the British Army into the 1960s.

People (myself included) routinely forget how maintenance intensive and fragile horses are. Great reminder, especially when thinking of the early war and the numbers of horses that were used because the trucks on hand were unavailable.

The end LOL

I was going to say its not FWD but FBW. But I didnt know that indeed it is FWD, The Four Wheel Drive Co, which should not be confused with FBW from Zurich (named after the Croatian's Initial, and the small town outside of Zurich.). The truck museum did have the latter though, FBW (Franz Br...something slavic, and W...some Swiss hamlet lol). The would later focus heavily on earth movers and trolleybuses, and merged with Saurer, who made the same thing, and created NAW, which also merged with Hess and ABB, another two bus/trolleybus makers in Switzerland. As a note of interest, they still exist and produce the longest trolleybus made, a double articulated vehicle.

In the case of the United States, pretty much everything that was shipped to Europe stayed there, either disposed of into civilian hands or scrapped. That still left a huge supply of equipment in the U.S. - Industrial production was ramping up after the Declaration of War in 1917, and hit full stride in mid 1918, preparing for the expected massive 1919 offensives. Vehicles and aircraft that were deemed surplus to requirements - After the War, the U.S. Army quickly downsized to a token force, smaller than the German Army allowed by the Versailles Treaty. Trucks were sold off, or presented to the Highway/Public Works organizations of the various State Governments, and they were instrumental in the construction of improved roads in the U.S. This did have an effect on the U.S. automotive manufacturing industry. At the beginning of the U.S. involvement in the War, there were trucks manufactured in all 48 States, by about 350 manufacturers. By 1925, the number of manufacturers was down to about 20. -

It was a time of transition, both in the military and in the civilian world. Trucks simplified logistics, were more capable, and more supportable. You can build many trucks in a day - A Horse's gestation period is about a year, you can start training them when they're 2 or 3, and they're able to work af about age 4 or 5. So - it would appear that all the horses used in the Great War were born before the war. In the truck video from the Tank Museum at Bovington, some mention was made of government subsidies and purchase assistance to civilian firms in Britain and Germany to buy trucks, with the proviso that they could be recalled in case of War. This recall did take place in 1914, and, while it provided a boost to mobility for the armies, it caused problems with industrial production. One benefit that often gets overlooked is public health. Although trucks do pollute, they're not producing vast quantities (If you've never had to muck out a stable, you don't know how vast) of manure, which is a rich feeding ground for disease - it's not a coincidence that Typhoid and Cholera outbreaks is cities petered out and faded away as trucks were introduced.

British WW1 military deaths in Palestine/Israel (until 31 Dec 1918): 12,521. Of which 10,677 soldiers from Britain (and Ireland), 777 from Australia, 656 from India, 245 from New Zealand, 80 from South Africa etc.... 12,271 of deaths during 1917-18 period (8,403 in 1917 and 3,868 in 1918) .

It takes less than a day to build a truck. It takes 5 years to make a draft horse, from initial conception to useful work. A "civilized" horse can't live off the land for long - they have dietary requirements that are more severe than people, and producing fodder uses up agricultural land and effort that could be feeding people.

@Peter Stickney Countries like France weren't hurting for food. However, much of their steel production and iron/coal resources were occupied by the Germans during the opening weeks of the war. This is why it couldn't hurt to have both horses and trucks, so as to not stress the limited industry that remained on the French side of the lines. And those horses were already there to begin with.

@peterstickney7608

France lucked out - its most fertile regions weren't touched by the war, and the farming is relatively easy. Britain, of course, lost no farmland, but was not self-sufficient in food production, and relied on imports from overseas - mostly North America. German farmland isn't as productive, and the large German draft callups meant that most of their farm labor was off in France or Russia, and not working the fields. (I'm not sure, but I think that the diversion of German Nitrate production to making explosives and propellant caused a sever cut in, or even halt of, fertilizer production, which was desparately needed - don't forget that one of he causes of the large German migration to the U.S. and Canada in the 19th Century was peasants escaping famine.)

I have to back up my brother here. I have his experience with WWI trucks plus a backyard full of horses. People would be less likely to blithely assert that horses can "Live off the land" if they had to pay my hay and grain bills. Yes, SOME horses (mustangs, arabs, wailers, mongolian steppe ponies) can live off the land. Western cavalry and cart horses cannot, and living off the land requires time to graze and nutritious grass, neither of which are often available in military situations. I maintain an acre of grass pasture for each of my horses and I still have to put up 100 bales of hay per horse along with the one to four pounds of grain each one gets each day. And those are just saddle horses used for pleasure riding. I have to feed hay in the winter because the grass, while edible, contains very little nutrition outside of the growing season. Still, that's one acre, for each horse: Now multiply that times a million horses. Pre-mechanized armies had to keep moving to prevent their horses from starving. With the static warfare on the western front that wasn't possible, all of the accessible pasture would be completely denuded remarkably quickly, and there are limits to how far afield you can send your horses to graze. Horses cannot be worked every day, they need time off to rest and recover. Modern carriage horses in my town get every other week off. Finally, each truck didn't replace one horse, they replaced entire horse teams. One well-known US magazine ad from 1913 tells about about a lumber company using one GMC truck to replace 11 two horse teams. Horses also have huge manpower requirements compared to motor vehicles - vets, farriers, grooms, stablement, trainers, farmers, you name it. Once you have an industrial economy going trucks present unescapable economies of scale. As a matter of fact one of the first and most important uses of trucks on the Western Front was hauling fodder for the horses, because horse drawn wagons could barely keep up with the need.

Plumer, whom I told to 'go off and be cinema'ed' went off most obediently and stood before the camera, trying to look his best, while Byng, & others near him were chaffing the old man and trying to make him laugh." - 11th November 1918. This is an extract from the personal diary of Sir Douglas Haig, a man I am sure many regard with much animosity for whatever reason. However I think this one particular line is significant, as it reveals a man and his peers to be exactly that, men, who looked for joy, wanted to smile and play a joke, show some emotion even during the most trying of times, and that it shows that the Generals and staff Officers, were not faceless robots intent on the destruction of a generation, but that they were just men, doing their best with the tools and training and men that they possessed in the most trying of circumstances, and this sentence in particular I believe highlights that in war, from the lowliest private to the highest general, each man is just another man and gives a personal edge to someone who has become a byword for incompetence, however unfairly that mud may stick.

what about mustafa kemal pasha at palestanian front? in turkey palestanian front is skipped away at history lessons... it is more about we lose at this front very badly..not about mustafa kemal... but mustafa kemal is criticized about palestanian front ... his haters say he retreated by his own decide... he commanded 7th army group. between 4th army group and 8th army group ..and so his retreal made a gap ... and so brits seized other two arny group ... it is an opportunity for attacking mustafa kemal...due to lack of knowledge about palestanian front in turkish literal history ... many people did not know this front.. and they believe what they say...

It is also argued that by retreating, he saved thousands from a certain death.

His army disintegrated around him, nothing he could do but retreat. He no longer had the advantage of the terrain and the allies owned the air and had far greater mobility and by now - far better soldiers, tactics and technology.

During WW1 there was no such place as Palestine! The name was given to areas of the Ottoman Empire named the Sanjat of Jerusalem and the Sanjat of Tripoli.

Then why did they call it the Palestine campaign? Why did the Balfour Declaration mention Palestine? Palestine was not a political entity but it was a place.

There are plenty of sources to back up the existence of Palestine. I'm sorry that you were taught differently and it's not your fault.
