Description: This book documents the work of the Pro-Jerusalem Council formed to preserve and enhance sites of historical importance in Jerusalem after the city's occupation in 1918. Under the leadership of Civic Advisor C. R. Ashbee and Governor Sir Ronald Storrs, the council initiated a survey of historic monuments and implemented conservation initiatives for sites including the Dome of the Rock and the city walls. Drawing on support from political and religious leaders, the council focused on the protection and restoration of Jerusalem's unique heritage and cultural identity. This account narrates the challenges, collaborations, and significant achievements in the initial two years of the council's existence, highlighting the ongoing importance of safeguarding historical sites and the vital role played by the Pro-Jerusalem Society.
