  • The Jifjafa Raid (11–14 April 1916) was a long range pre-emptive operation by a composite formation of the British Empire against Ottoman Turkish Empire forces at the Jifjafa well in the Sinai Desert. During the Sinai and Palestine Campaign of the First World War. The Jifkafa well (Bir el Jifjafa) is located in the Sinai Desert to the east of Ismalia on the Suez Canal. The raid was carried out by men from the 3rd Light Horse Brigade, supported by small detachments of other corps and a larger group from the Egyptian Camel Transport Corps. Although some of the Australians had seen action in the Gallipoli Campaign, this was the first offensive operation, conducted by any Australian force, during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign. The raid was a complete success. For the cost of one man killed, the first light horse casualty of the campaign, they killed six men captured another thirty-six and destroyed the wells infrastructure. The raiders returned safely to their own lines. In recognition of their achievement Major William Henry Scott the commander of the raid was invested as a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order.
