Description: Antique 1920 Nile to Aleppo: A Record of Travel with the Australian Light Horse by Hector W. Dinning. - Step back in time with Hector Dinning's vivid memoir, "Nile to Aleppo," an evocative account of his journey and experiences during World War I as a Captain in the Australian Army. Illustrated by the renowned artist James McBey, this book provides a personal and gripping narrative of the arduous campaigns in the Middle East, from the sweltering banks of the Nile to the ancient city of Aleppo. Dinning's keen observations and direct storytelling transport readers into the heart of the Sinai and Palestine Campaigns, shedding light on the often-overlooked contributions of the Australian Light Horsemen. Dinning's prose captures the stark beauty and relentless challenges of the Middle Eastern landscape, while his dedication to the Light Horsemen and their steadfast horses underlines the deep bond between man and beast in the theatre of war. This book not only recounts the tactical maneuvers and battles but also delves into the everyday life of soldiers, their camaraderie, and the cultural encounters that marked their journey. - First edition published in 1920 by The Macmillan Company, New York. - Illustrations by James McBey in full color and black and white - Comes with original dust jacket which has been torn but carefully preserved inside a protective sleeve.
