Soldiers beside the liner and an army lorry

Under the steel gantry of a quay crane, a group of men in uniform with puttees and caps, apparently soldiers, stands between the white, porthole-studded side of a liner and a lorry with a canvas cover; a figure climbs the ship's side, and a covered gangway hangs against the hull. The source lists an army port detail taking up posts. In 1938, the year of the heaviest fighting of the Arab Revolt, British reinforcements reached Palestine through Haifa.
