		In October 1916 Lieutenant General Sir Charles M. Dobell was appointed to the command of the "Eastern Force", responsible for all British operations in the Sinai.
		General Sir Philip W. Chetwode was made commander of the "Desert Column" which contained all mounted (horse and camel) brigades.
		However, a combined bayonet charge on the critical Redoubt No. 2 by the camel brigade and the 3rd regiment of the 1st Light Horse Brigade, which in the relative cover of the wadi was able to close to within 100 yards of the defences, resulted in the capture of the position.

		Chetwode believed that the lack of water would be easier to overcome than the Gaza fortifications and so a mammoth engineering and supply effort was undertaken to make a forward base in the vicinity of Beersheba from which infantry and mounted troops could stage an assault.
		The attack was to be made by two infantry divisions of the XX Corps (60th (London) Division and the 74th (Yeomanry) Division) and two mounted divisions of the Desert Mounted Corps (Anzac Mounted Division and Australian Mounted Division).
		The attack on Beersheba by Chetwode's XX Corps commenced at 5.55am on October 31 when the artillery, more than 100 field guns and howitzers, commenced bombarding the Turkish trenches.

		Consequently Chetwode rejected the suggestion of renewing the frontal infantry assaults on Gaza.
		Chetwode, however, saw its military value; lightly held, it was the only sector that offered a good chance of a breakthrough and, by operating on the Turkish flank, the British could threaten to encircle the Turkish forces at Gaza by striking west towards the coast, cutting off the rail and road supply routes.
		The shortage of water north of Beersheba compelled Allenby, on the advice of Chetwode and Chauvel, to delay launching the next phase of the battle until November 6.

	First World War.com - Who's Who - Sir Philip Chetwode
		Chetwode's early service was in Burma and he subsequently saw action during the South African War (1899-1902).
		On the verge of a breakthrough during the battle Chetwode's forces (whose overall conduct in the action was somewhat erratic) were ordered to withdraw by Sir Charles Dobell, leading to the failure of the operation.
		Chetwode - popularly referred to as 'the Bart' on account of his dapper manner - was again to the fore during the Second Battle of Gaza the following month; this time however the Turkish defenders were expecting a British attack, which was consequently repulsed at great cost.

		The spearhead of this force was the Desert Column, under the command of General Philip Chetwode, which would be making the attack.
		However, while Chetwode was nominally in command of the attack, Dobell was present to oversee the battle which needlessly complicated and confused the decision making.
		Meanwhile, recognising that the available daylight was slipping away, Chetwode ordered General Chauvel, commander of the Anzac Mounted Division, to attack Gaza from the north and east with his two mounted brigades.

		General Chetwode thought it was possible the enemy might make an offensive against us--we have since learned he had such designs--but he gave weighty reasons against the Turk embarking upon a campaign conducted with a view to throwing us beyond the Egyptian frontier into the desert again.
		General Chetwode considered it would be fatal to attempt an offensive with forces which might permit us to attack and occupy the enemy's Gaza line but which would be insufficient to inflict upon him a really severe blow, and to follow up that blow with sufficient troops.
		Having dealt with the enemy in Beersheba, General Chetwode with mounted troops protecting his right was to move north and north-west against the enemy's left flank, to drive him from his strong positions at Sheria and Hareira, enveloping his left flank and striking it obliquely.

	Battle of Rafa
		Chetwode and Chauvel were well aware that the Anzac Mounted Division comprised the majority of the mounted troops available to the British in the Egyptian theatre and consequently they were not willing to sustain significant casualties.
		They were also of the belief that the Turks would probably withdraw the garrison in the near future anyway.
		When news arrived that a Turkish relief force was approaching from the east, Chetwode decided to call off the attack and retreat back towards El Arish.
