The Wadi ran across the south of the town from east to west.
  The enemy was Turkey, Imperial Germany's eastern ally. They held the line, Gaza-Beersheba. At Beersheba were the 27th Division and Battalions from the 16th and 24th Divisions, supported by artillery. The enemy's defence extended from Tel El Saba on the eastern flank. Two lines of trenches were dug into the cliff face of the Tel. A series of inferior trenches extended along the Wadi; they were not protected by wire. These extended to a group of detached trenches on the south-west flank. The enemy had good zones of fire.
  General Sir Edmund Allenby commanded the British Eastern Expeditionary Force of two corps.
  Lt-Gen Sir Harry Chauvel commanded the Desert Mounted Corps. He had no misgivings about his troops; they had sheer quality, leadership and experience; many had been at Gallipoli. These men of the Light Horse were without peer.
  Lt Gen. Sir Philip Chetwode commanded the British XX Corps. He had defined the Gaza - Beersheba line.
  Chauvel's Desert Mounted Corps were to capture Beersheba.
  Chauvel's orders were to straddle the Beersheba-Hebron Road at Sakati 8 kilometres north-east of Beersheba, capture Tel El Saba, then storm the town. The mission was to be executed on the first day of the battle.
  He had two divisions, each of three brigades. The ANZAC Mounted Division (ANZACs) included the 1st and 2nd Australian Light Horse Brigades and the New Zealand Mounted Rifle Brigade.
  The Australian Mounted Division included the 3rd and 4th Austrlian Light Horse Brigades and the 5th (British) Yeomanry Brigade. In support were the Light Batteries of the Royal Horse Artillery.
  The Battle of Beersheba was to be a three-phase operation supported by the British. The first phase was to be a night ride from wells at Asluj and Khalasa 20 kilometres to the south in the Sinai, to positions south and south-east of the town. In the second phase, the 2nd Australian Light Horse Brigade was to advance to Sakati and act as a cut-off force. The 1st Australian Light Horse and New Zealand Mounted Rifle Brigades were to capture Tel El Saba. Finally, with the road and Tel secure, the ANZAC's were to storm the town. This did not eventuate.

⇒ワジ（雨季以外は枯れる谷）は町の南側を東から西に横切って走っていた。　敵はトルコ、ドイツ帝国の東方同盟国であった。彼らはガザ－ベールシェバ戦線を保持していた。ベールシェバには第27師団と第16、第24師団からの数個大隊が駐屯して、砲兵隊による支援を受けていた。敵の防御隊は、東側面のテル・エル・サバから拡張していた。2本線の塹壕がこのテルの断崖面に掘られていた。一連のより貧弱な塹壕がワジに沿って拡張されたが、それは鉄条網による保護はなされていなかった。これらは、拡張されて南西側面で個々別々の塹壕グループをなしていた。敵は砲火に具合のよい地帯を持っていた。

⇒「ベールシェバの戦い」は、英国軍によって支援された3局面の作戦行動であった。最初の局面は、アスルジとカラサの井戸からシナイ半島の南へ20キロの町の南と南東の陣地へ向って夜間の車馬行軍することになっていた。第2の局面においては、第2オーストラリア軽騎兵隊旅団がサカチへ進軍し、（通信・供給などの）遮断軍団として行動する手筈であった。第1オーストラリア軽騎兵隊とニュージーランド騎馬置ライフル旅団がテル・エル・サバを攻略することになっていた。最後の局面では、アンザック隊が確保した道路とテル（市街地？）によって、町を急襲することになっていた。ただし、これは実行されなかった。
