In the meantime, pressure would be maintained on the Turks in the east in an effort to draw their reserves from Gaza. While the Turks had been driven from Beersheba, they had not been dislodged from the rest of the defensive line. The Turkish left flank had pivoted on their strong defences at Hareira and swung back northwards from Beersheba to a new strong point at Tel El Khuweilfe which commanded the road to the east leading to Hebron as well as the passage to the north-west leading to the coast. On the day after the capture of Beersheba, the British 7th Mounted Brigade (with the Australian 8th Light Horse Regiment attached) raced to Khuweilfe to try to take it before the Turks strengthened the position but arrived too late. For the next four days the British, Australian and New Zealand mounted brigades would attempt to capture the Khuweilfe position. Each night a brigade would be relieved in order to return its horses to the water at Beersheba and another brigade would resume the assault. Finally the infantry of the 53rd Division arrived along with the Imperial Camel Corps Brigade and with artillery support made another assault on 6 November which lasted for two days until finally on the morning of 8 November the Turks abandoned Khuweilfe because of developments elsewhere on the front. Despite the failure to capture Khuweilfe, the pressure had the desired effect of drawing in the Turkish reserves, making the success of British attacks at Gaza and Hareira more likely. The first action at Gaza took place before dawn on 2 November when the 161st and 162nd Brigades of the 54th Division attacked the Turkish trench system in the sand dunes between Gaza and the sea. On this occasion it was a night attack by well prepared troops with overwhelming artillery support and armoured (six tanks). The British infantry advanced about 2 miles on a 5,000 yard front and held their gains against repeated Turkish counter-attacks. Casualty figures were heavy for both sides but this time favoured the British. |
