October 1st, 1936

General Allenby is dead, and with that, the most successful General of the Weltkrieg has departed from this Earth. Guiding the Arab Revolt through the expert commanding of Lawrence of Arabia, Allenby managed to liberate the Levant and Mesopotamia from Ottoman rule and would have forced the Ottoman Empire into submission had German reinforcements not redeployed to the hills and mountains of southwest Anatolia. Being the only playing card in the resulting 1919 Peace with Honour at Versailles, the British managed to win minor concessions in southern Irak and Palestine regarding the autonomy of the Assyrians and the Jewish minority respectively. With the final withdraw of the British Empire from the region in 1920, Allenby's Grand Offensive was officially over with no meaningful gains. Kut and Gallipoli would never be avenged.

Given a full military funeral at Christ Chruch in Ottawa, a 21-gun salute would be conducted to honor Allenby's before a fly-by by British and Canadian pilots would fly over, with the Canadian and British flags being dragged behind them. After his coffin was lowered into a specially designed crypt, a brief contingent of tanks and marines would parade, limited by Ottawa's complaints that a more excessive funeral would quickly degrade the streets outside of Christ Church. After both the parade and the funeral, King Edward VIII would give a radio speech across the nation, stating that while "Allenby unfortunately passed away, the ideals he cherished and the crown he fought for remains ever unwavering in its commitment to restore responsible government in the Home Isles."
