Coldstreamer Posted 24 December , 2019 Share Posted 24 December , 2019 at least with the Tel el Fara ref you have a better idea now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrmh Posted 24 December , 2019 Share Posted 24 December , 2019 (edited) On Friday 17 August, the Division moved back to El Fukhan. "Six men on leave to Port Said."[177] The New Zealand Mounted Rifle Brigade arrived at Tel el Marakeb the next day for a fortnight on the beach before they returned to El Fukhari near Tel el Fara.[178] I can see El Fukhari on a map - is it the same as El Fukhan though? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Powles_pp.128–9_sit.7.11.17.jpg Edited 24 December , 2019 by Jrmh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeldr Posted 24 December , 2019 Share Posted 24 December , 2019 4 hours ago, Jrmh said: is it the same as El Fukhan though? At first glimpse I thought that this actually did in fact say El Fukhan and it's quite possible that a similar sort of slip may have occurred back in 1917 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
