Egyptian Labour Corps : ウィキペディア英語版 | Egyptian Labour Corps The Egyptian Labour Corps (also known as the ELC or Labour Corps) was a group of Egyptian labourers who worked for the British Army in Egypt during the First World War's Sinai and Palestine Campaign. ==Historical context== At the beginning of the First World War Britain set up the Protectorate of Egypt and imposed martial law, at the same time giving a solemn pledge to defend Egypt and not call on the Egyptian people to aid them in the conflict. They had become subject to British Rule in the 19th century when their country was invaded and occupied by the British.〔Wavell 1968, pp. 25–6〕〔Wilson 1934, p. 3〕 However, the British quickly realised that they desperately needed the support of Egyptian labour in a land which was so inhospitable to Europeans.
