Yildirim Army Group carts and gun carriages destroyed by EEF aircraft on the Nablus-Beisan road. This is the order of battle for the Battle of Megiddo (1918), the concluding engagement of the Sinai and Palestine Campaign of the First World War.
The successful action at Megiddo resulted in the battle honour "Megiddo" being awarded to units of the British, Dominion and Empire forces participating in the battle. Battle honours for the two subsidiary battles of Sharon and Nablus were also awarded. [91] Edward Erickson, a historian of the Ottoman Army, later wrote:
The Battle of Megiddo (fought 15th century BC) was fought between Egyptian forces under the command of Pharaoh Thutmose III and a large rebellious coalition of Canaanite vassal states led by the king of Kadesh. [4] It is the first battle to have been recorded in what is accepted as relatively reliable detail. [5]
