slide, lantern

Description

Lantern slide. This photograph was taken by Sgt. Johnson of the 436 Welsh Field Company c. 1917. It formed part of a lecture which he gave. His notes read 'Jaffa Gate Jerusalem. An enterance was cut here to allow the Kaiser to enter into the old city rather than allow him to pass through the gates, as the Mohammeden authorities were afraid the people would resent the triumphal ride of the Kaiser through the gates. The marble clock tower was given by the Kaiser as a token of gratitude for the reception he received'. This view is similar to EC1756 and EC1808.
