Description

Folio. 54 pp. Sewn. Military reports from the Mesopotamian theatre, issued by Generals W. S. Delamain, A. A. Barrett, and J. E. Nixon between 1914 and 1915, in the early months of the British Empire's Mesopotamian campaign against the Ottoman Empire. Includes the despatches regarding the Battle of Shaiba (12-14 April 1915), in which the British infantry successfully defended Basra from the Ottoman forces. Significantly, this was the last time the Ottomans would threaten Basra, and after the battle it would be the British who generally held the initiative in Mesopotamia. It also changed attitudes among the Arabs, who subsequently began to distance themselves from the Ottomans. - Perfectly preserved. - OCLC 44868586.
