Description: | Battle of Jaffa. Jerisheh Mill on the Auja. No crossing took place at Jerisheh Mill on the night of the passage of the Aija, 20th December 1917. The Turks expected a crossing there and shelled the place during the operation, but the 156th Brigade crossed over 2500 yards to the west, and the 155th Brigade over 1200 yards to the east (52nd Division). It was used by some of the Canterbury Mounted Rifles in retiring across the river on 25th November.
