'The New Zealanders in Sinai and Palestine. By Lieut.-Col. C. Guy Powles. (Auckland : Whiteombe and Tombs.)

This third volume of the official New Zealand history of the War gives a most interesting account of the Palestine campaign' in war the New Zealand Mounted Rifle Brigade played a distinguished part. The book is furnished with many maps, plans and photographs, and adds many details, especially in the early advance through the desert and in the repeated feints into Moab, that we have not seen before. At the very end, when the Turks had been routed, the New Zealanders in the Jordan valley were attacked by a very bad form of malaxia which proved more fatal than the enemy's machine-guns.
