19-21 February 1918: The Capture of Jericho—British & A.N.Z.A.C. forces, having consolidated their hold on Jerusalem & the Gaza-Beersheba line, advanced into the Jordan River Valley, to secure their eastern flank in order to advance north of Jerusalem & into Transjordan & Syria; Enver Pasha fired his German theater commander, Erich von Falkenhayn, replacing him with Otto Liman von Sanders.
Lest we forget.
