It threatened Britain's hold on the Suez Canal, and supplied more than 25,000 Tur- kish troops in Arabia. Col. T. E. Lawrence. devised the plan of rousing the Arabs against the Turks to harass, but not destroy, the railway, to keep the Turkish garrisons bottled up and distracted in their fight against the armies of General Sir Edmund Allenby. Lawrence led the raiders himself, eventu- ally capturing Damascus, and other Arab warriors and British officers spread destruction up and down the line.
