The Zion Mule Corps in Gallipoli by the CO. Falls states: "Lt.-Col. Patterson... was put in command of the Zion Mule Corps, which was recruited from Russian Jews who had fled to Egypt from Palestine. This formation, about 500 strong, was equipped with pack mules for transport work during the Gallipoli campaign. Very good work it did. Its commander does not, however, confine himself to its career but speculates at large upon the policy and strategy of the whole campaign, and has some interesting notes on the country." Orig. blue cloth, gilt, somewhat worn, generally VG.
