Click to enlarge Allenby (General Sir E. H. H.) SPECIAL ORDER OF THE DAY. By General Sir E. H. H. Allenby, G.C.B., G.C.M.G., Commander-in-Chief, Egyptian Expeditionary Force. ... General Headquarters, January, 1919. Broadside, with a brief inscription in an unidentified hand ('Rata 1919. Palestine') above the heading, and Allenby's printed signature beneath the text; 21.2 x 19.2 cm.; creased vertically and horizontally from folding, a trifle foxed and soiled, with several short splits to fore-edge; mounted on a taller sheet of brown backing paper, which is inscribed in white ink at foot 'To troops concerning the Egyptian Rising 1919. This happened after the Armistice was Signed Nov. 1918', and with traces of a newscutting on the reverse, along with another inscription in white ink, presumably referring to the missing newscutting: 'Events of the week when in Cairo'. *Allenby confronted a serious crisis in morale brought about by boredom and temptation during 'the trying and unavoidably extended period that must elapse before the demobilization of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force can be completed'. The Special Order is an appeal to the troops to behave with 'courtesy and consideration to the inhabitants' during their extended stay abroad, noting that 'In these countries special temptations exist with regard to Wine and Women. Both must be resisted.'

Its aim was '... to give you straight information and to express your views - by letters, stories, articles, verse, sketches. ... So, when you've read it, PASS THE SALT. ...'. Articles covered events at home, abroad and on the battle fronts, including employment, sport, art, reading, Australian history, Antarctica, and post-war homes. Cartoons and comic art featured strongly, along with plans, questions and answers and crossword puzzles. Contributing authors included Ion Idriess, Charles Barrett, C. P. Mountford and C. E. W. Bean, whilst the production staff included Frank Hardy, Captain Hume Dow, Ambrose Dyson (editorial cartoonist) and Vane "Blue" Lindesay (chief artist). The managing editor was Major Mungo MacCallum, who, with the assistance of Major Massey Stanley and General Blamey, fought and defeated opposition to its continued publication. (Early opponents of the journal thought the staff was too politically left wing, or Communist Party members, as some indeed were). From Volume 10/1 onwards, a series of 'Guest Author' was introduced, featuring stories by authors such as Mark Twain, Leo Tolstoy, Rudyard Kipling, Damon Runyon, Guy de Maupassant, O. Henry, Somerset Maugham, H. G. Wells, Ambrose Bierce, Lord Dunsany, Jack London, H. E. Bates, Ernest Hemingway, a.o. Australian 'Guests' included Henry Lawson, Alan Marshall, Kylie Tennant, Vance Palmer, Xavier Herbert and Jon Cleary. An entertaining behind-the-scenes account of the editorial staff of SALT is included in Vane Lindesay's Some Fragments Recalled: A Life So Far. Frank Hardy also recorded some of their lighter exploits in his autographical The Hard Way.
