Some of the biblical references in the original seem to be mistaken. All the references were left as in the original. The following is a list of uncertain references, usually together with a possible alternate reference. Footnote Original Suggestion [7] III Kings i II Kings i Zech. iv, 5 Zech. ix, 5 [10] Judges l, 18 Judges i, 18 Jeph. ii, 4 Zeph. ii, 4 [13] Matt. xii, 40 ? Acts x, 9 Several times in Acts x, but not verse 9 [15] II Kings ii, 11 II Kings ii, 15 [20] Judges iv, 3 Judges vi, 33 v, 21 Mentions the Kishon which borders Esdraelon vi, 1 Judges vii, 1 [21] Psalms xxxix, 12 Psalms lxxxix, 12 [25] Deut. xiv, 5 ? I Kings iv, 23 I Kings iv, 11 mentions Dor, a village in the vicinity xviii, 13 xviii, 19 Isa. lv, 12 ? [29] II Kings vi II Kings v vii ? xiii ? xv ? [30] John i, 47 ? [34] Josh. xiii, 2 Josh. xiii, 5 Judges iii, 1 Judges iii, 3 II Chron. ii, 2 II Chron. ii, 8 or 16 Isa. xxxv, 17 Isa. xxxv, 2 [40] I Kings xviii, 34 II Kings xviii, 34 xix, 13 II Kings xix, 13 2. As there is no one way to transcribe Arabic and Hebrew place names, I left all the names as they appear in the original. Nevertheless, I tried to keep consistency and used a single spelling when a place was mentioned using two possible spellings. 3. The inconsistency of capitalization (e.g., Sub-section/sub-section, Sergeant/sergeant) and punctuation (mostly inside/outside quotation marks) are thus in the original book.] [Illustration] [Illustration] Through Palestine with the Twentieth Machine-Gun Squadron. Printed and Published for private circulation by J.M. BAXTER & CO., 20 Appold Street, London--E.C.2. Foreword. This Booklet has been compiled with the object of enabling the members of the 20th Machine-Gun Squadron to recall the principal incidents in its history, as well as to allow their friends and relations to obtain some idea of their experiences whilst they were serving with the Egyptian Expeditionary Force. Although no pains have been spared to obtain accuracy, the statements made must, necessarily, not be regarded as _absolutely_ authoritative. Beyond doubt, many brave deeds, fully deserving of mention in these pages, must have been unavoidably overlooked, in which case the leniency of readers is requested.
