In December 1917, Lambert received a commission to make visual records of the part played by the Australian Light Horse in the Palestine Campaign. His First Officer was Major "Banjo Patterson. As a skilled Horseman, Lambert revelled in the adventure of the Light Horse and painted some of the more memorable works of the 1st World War. P. G Konody noted in his review of the exhibition ''Art and Artists: War and Peace'' at the Royal Acacdemy in 1918 - "by far the most interesting of these records are Mr Lambert''s little panels of warfare among the arid, sun-parched hills and clefts of the Holy land. They are brilliant and extraordinarily deft oil-sketches full of life and local colour". Art and Artifice, George Lambert , 1873-1930 by Anne Gray, Craftsman House, Sydney 1996, page 66
A large version of "The Road to Jerusalem" hangs in the Australian War Memorial, Canberra
