British troops in Jerusalem is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress, a body of news photographs produced by the Bain News Service in New York. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption information the agency wrote on the negatives or cards, which has not been independently verified. British forces entered Jerusalem in December 1917, ending four centuries of Ottoman rule over the city, so the subject points to the years of the British Mandate that followed. Pictures from this period often show soldiers, officials and crowds in the Old City and its surroundings.
