accounts of the first Turkish offensive against the Suez Canal are to
be found in G. Douin, _Un épisode de la guerre mondiale: l’attaque
du canal de Suez, 3 Fevrier, 1915_ (Paris, 1922); C. Stiénon, “Sur
le chemin de fer de Bagdad,” in _Revue des deux mondes_, 6 series,
Volume 5 (1916), pp. 148–174; T. Wiegand, _Sinai_ (Berlin, 1920); N.
Moutran, _La Syrie de demain: France et Syrie_ (Paris, 1916); R.
