Just a, perhaps stupid, question: Why is this battle called 'First Suez Offensive' when no other is apparently mentioned in WW1 context, and no article titled 'Second Suez Offensive' or similar exists? Is it just the conventional name for it, or were there, in fact, any subsequent offensives?

There is no Second Suez Canal Offensive in Englisj historiography, but there is in German and Ottoman history. The second attack on Suez was planned in greater detail, but in the end never reached Suez after a major battle. Murat (talk) 18:56, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would have said that this action constituted more than a "raid" in the normal English sense. Is there no better descriptor used in reliable sources? Srnec (talk) 22:51, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is linked to the Raid on the Suez Canal which the 11th Light Horse Regiment did not take part in? --Rskp (talk) 06:18, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
