22.) Lawrence contacted Arab staff

22.) Lawrence contacted Arab staff officers in the Turkish 4th Army, “I warned them of a thunderbolt shortly to fall on them at Amman from east and west, and conjured them to so dispose their troops as to be ineffective on the day, both ways.” He even warned them not to be in Amman if they could avoid it.23.) Lawrence arranged a projected attack on Madeba by Hornsby and the Beni Sakhr sheiks again letting unreliable people know that the plan was to roll up Moab from the south.68The effectiveness of these coordinated operations can be measured by comparing real dispositions compared with Turkish estimates taken from maps captured from Sanders headquarters.
