The advance to Jerusalem took a further year, but from to December , about Commonwealth prisoners of war were buried in the German and Anglo-German cemeteries of the city. By 21 November , the Egyptian Expeditionary Force had gained a line about five kilometres west of Jerusalem, but the city was deliberately spared bombardment and direct attack.
Very severe fighting followed, lasting until the evening of 8 December, when the 53rd Welsh Division on the south, and the 60th London and 74th Yeomanry Divisions on the west, had captured all the city's prepared defences.
