Eran Tearosh Posted 13 September , 2017 Share Posted 13 September , 2017 Is there a book or internet source (And/or old GWF threads) focusing on the activities of OETA South? I came across a name - Colonel Parker - in connection with Jaffa, and I assume he is the one who was appointed as Military Governor of Jaffa (Appointment probably by late November 1917) & district. Can anyone verify that? Eran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart24 Posted 13 September , 2017 Share Posted 13 September , 2017 Not sure if this helps, but Colonel (possibly Lt Col at that point) Alfred Chevalier 'Wallier' Parker was sent to Jaffa in late November 1917 (arriving on 20th) to compile a report on conditions there for the DAG. He was only there a few days before returning to GHQ, and within a week or two was re-appointed Governor of the Sinai. ('The Diaries of Parker Pasha', ed. HVF Winstone, Quartet Books 1983).
