original army. The followers of the Arab camp of the Aden detachment deserted them at the most critical time, taking all their camels with them. The fighting began on the evening of Sunday, July 4. The
Ottoman forces made several attacks against the British force, but all of them were repelled. Although Brigadier Shaw praised the efforts of the Royal Artillery after the battle, the superior Ottoman artillery set various parts of Lahej on fire, and the British were in danger of being surrounded and cut off by the Arab tribesmen. When the main column had not yet reached Aden, the British withdrew on July 5, with three officers wounded. The main loss was not so much in men as in prestige. The Ottomans had occupied Lahej, but Sultan Abdali was mistakenly wounded by British forces, and was transferred to Aden, where he died during the attack. Surgery was performed on him.

Ottoman force outside Lahej, supported by a large number of Arab tribesmen. They found the Sultan's forces in Lahej, so they withdrew to Lahej. On July 3, the Aden mobile column, consisting of two hundred and fifty rifles and two mortars, departed to support that division.

At the beginning of June 1915, the garrison in Aden weakened, as a result of sending some
British forces to the islands of Kamaran and Farasan and other islands of the Red Sea. The Ottomans took advantage of this and sent from northern Yemen a force of 2,000 Turkish soldiers and 4,000 Yemeni
