Geocache Description:


 

Yes, World War I passed through here in 1917.

Actually few years before Ramat gan was established.

In 1917 General Allenby and his British troops crossed the Yarkon river in three points to occupy Turkish posts.

Posted coordinates are at the eastern spot. A marble column was erected to commemorate the event.



Inspect the column to find the following clues. Find the inscription in English.

There are 5 numbers. The third number is 1917.

A=first number.

B=second number.

C=first digit of fourth number.

DE=fifth number.

From the writing figure out what other name the river has. It has four letters. What is the third letter?

If third letter=a then F=a=0 / F=b=1 / F=c=2

F=d=3/ F=e=4 / F=f=5

F=g=6 / F=h=7 / F=i=8 / F=j=9



Few meters to the west there are two metal sculptures by Menashe Kadishman. Next to them is a plaque in stone. It commemorates the resistance movements. There are two years mentioned.

G=last digit of first year

H=last digit of last year

Final location is -

N 32 5.(D+E)GH , E 34 49.(B-A)CF



Since there is no checker, a little help - GZ is under 300 meters away. BYOP
