Israeli experts have unearthed hundreds of whisky and gin bottles at the remains of a first world war British army barracks in the centre of the country.
The Israel Antiquities Authority said in a statement that the camp, near the town of Ramle, was used by an expeditionary force under Gen Edmund Allenby for about nine months from November 1917 during a pause in the campaign against the Turkish army in Palestine.
