The <entity_1> by Chaytor's Force, part of the British Empire's Egyptian Expeditionary Force (EEF), took place between 21 <entity_2> and <entity_2>, against the Ottoman Empire's Fourth Army and other Yildirim Army Group units. These operations took place during the Battle of Nablus, part of the Battle of Megiddo which began on <entity_4> in the final months of the <entity_0> of World War I. By July, Allenby was "very anxious <entity_0> in September," when he aimed to capture Tulkarm, Nablus and the <entity_3> bridge across the Jordan River. He hoped the capture of this important Ottoman line of communication from Nablus along the Wadi Fara to the Jordan River at <entity_3> and on to Es <entity_5> would also "encourage both my own new Indian troops and my Arab Allies." Aircraft reconnaissance, during a second dawn patrol on 20 September reported the whole area quiet, from <entity_3> bridge north to Beisan and from the bridge east across the Jordan Valley to Es <entity_5>. Chaytor ordered Meldrum to cut the Wadi el Fara road from Nablus to Es <entity_5> west of the Jordan River, occupy the headquarters of the Ottoman 53rd Division at El Makhruk, and capture the <entity_3> on the Wadi el Fara road over the Jordan River. The New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade' advanced guard was opposed by a line of outposts and a strongly wired Ottoman redoubt located across the main <entity_3> to Es <entity_5> road 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Es <entity_5>. (See Falls Sketch Map 24 Amman detail) Most of the land to the west of Amman was cleared of enemy forces during the afternoon of 24 September, and by that evening Chaytor's Force, less the 2nd Light Horse Brigade, the 38th Royal Fusiliers at Shunet Nimrin and the <entity_3> detachment, was concentrated at Es <entity_5> with mounted troops at Suweileh. Within the units of Chaytor's Force which moved to Es <entity_5> and Amman cases of malignant malaria began to appear in much smaller numbers on 28 September and up to 10 October 2 Light Horse Brigade which had not been in the <entity_3> area evacuated 57 soldiers compared with 239 from the 1st Light Horse Brigade and 316 from the New Zealand Mounted Rifle Brigade.
