A FAcoiLg

Allenby Entry
Is Re-Enacted

Jerusalem (JTA) — On Dec.
9, 1917, 12-year-old Anna-
Grace Lind stood on the
balcony of a hotel just inside
the Jaffa Gate and watched
Gen. Edmund Allenby,
commander of the British
forces, march into Jerusalem
and proclaim British martial
law.
As a mark of respect, Gen.
Allenby dismounted and
entered Jerusalem on foot, a
symbolic gesture re-
membered by Jews who saw
him as their liberator from
the Turkish yoke.
Seventy-five years later to
the day, Anna-Grace Lind
again watched Allenby
stride through the Jaffa
Gate. Only this time it was
the 3rd Viscount Allenby,
the general's great-nephew,
who entered the city in the
company of Mayor Teddy
Kollek.
The British aristocrat was
taking part in events com-
memorating the 75th an-
niversary of the Ottoman
surrender to the British
Egyptian Expeditionary
Forces in World War I.
"My uncle was determined
to capture the city intact and
maintain it as the center of
the three major religions,"
Mr. Allenby said.
While Mr. Kollek ac-
knowledged that the rela-
tionship between the Jews of
Palestine and the British
was sometimes problematic,
he said Israel remembered
the many benefits of British
rule, some of which remain
to this day.
He said the British were
welcomed equally by Jews,
Christians and Moslems, all
of whom had suffered under
400 years of Turkish rule.
Indeed, Jerusalem
historian Ya'acov Gross told
JTA the British arrival at
that time probably saved the
Jewish community. Six
months later, the Jews
would either have fled or
been expelled by the Turks.

Dutch Aviation Board has
abandoned hope of retriev-
ing the cockpit voice
recorder of an El Al 747
