Convention of El Arish[edit]

(

)

... that Lord Keith followed orders not to approve the Convention of El Arish, which would have ended the French campaign in Egypt and Syria, despite personally agreeing with it? "although he personally favoured the policy of evacuation, he was not a man to trifle with orders" (p20)
- ALT1:... that by the time word was received from the British government approving the Convention of El Arish to end the French campaign in Egypt and Syria hostilities had resumed?"we sent orders to conform to it... the French broke the armistice and the battle of Heliopolis was the consequence" (p272)
