3-9 August 1916: The Battles of Romani (3-5 August) & Bir el Abd (9 August)—The Entente Powers (the British & Imperial veterans of Gallipoli) thwarted a Central Powers (Ottoman, German, & even Austro-Hungarian) raid on the Suez Canal; the Ottomans, et al., withdrew in good order & fought a successful rearguard action at the Abd well (Bir el Abd), defeating the pursuing A.N.Z.A.C.s.
Lest we forget.
