Jerusalem Conquered 1917

Three telegrams I handled that winter stick in my memory. One from General Allenby to the 60th Divisional General when Jerusalem was taken.

It read "Congratulations. Psalm 122, v. 2. I looked it up.

"Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem." I thought it rather decent of Allenby.
