Turkish air raid on 3rd Camel Battalion at Sheikh Nuran

Men from No 15 (New Zealand) Company, Imperial Camel Corps, survey the damage after the 3rd Camel Battalion's camp at Sheikh Nuran was bombed by Turkish aircraft, Palestine, June 1917. One of the Turkish bombs fell directly on a group of camels assembled for inspection by the Battalion's veterinary section. Twenty six camels were killed outright and another 15 had to be put down due to their injuries. In addition to the lost camels, two men were killed and another 19 wounded by the Turkish air raid.
