Add to basketCondition: New. 2003 N & M Press reprint (first pub 1918). SB. vi + 165pp with three maps and numerous contemporary photosPublished Price £9.50 This account was actually written in Mesopotamia in 1917, and the author was so imbued with a sense of security that while he states it is the story of the 2nd Battalion, he does not say which regiment nor does he identify the division to which his battalion belonged. He does name the officers and the CO (A.G.Wauchope) and from this information it can be said that the regiment is the Black Watch. When war broke out the battalion was in India, where it had been since the end of the Boer War, stationed in Bareilly and on mobilization it formed part of the Bareilly Brigade of the 7th (Meerut) Division and went to France with the Indian Corps, landing in France in October 1914. At the end of 1915 the Indian Corps was withdrawn from France and sent to Mesopotamia where the battalion arrived on the last day of 1915; before the week was out it was in action at Shaikh Saad (6th-8th Jan â16)where it had some 60 killed, the Official History speaks of 400 casualties in the battalion.This account covers about 18 months, to the capture of Samarrah on 24th April 1917 when the winter campaign of 1916-17 came to an end. There are not many battalion histories dealing solely with the war in Mesopotamia (there was only one British division in that theatre, the 13th) and that makes this narrative interesting, not only from the point of view of the numerous actions in which the battalion was involved, but also because of the descriptions of the country, the inhabitants and the conditions in which they fought - the casualty lists shows disease, heat stroke and suffocation among the causes of death. Two of the chapters consist of articles written by the CO. The full casualty roll of the other ranks is given from 1st Jan â16 to 15th Jun â17 with the names arranged in regimental number order, starting with 72 Sgt T.Archer. It shows the date, cause and place of death and place of burial; many of these are shown as on the battlefield with grid reference (remember this was written in 1917). There is also a full list of officers who served in the battalion showing in each case dates of movements such as date and place of embarkation and disembarkation, date of an y casualty.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A highland regiment at war in the EastWhen this book was originally published both the regiment and author remained anonymous. Today we know it concerns the wartime experiences of the 2nd Battalion, The Black Watch and that its author-an officer of the regiment-was Blampied. To make the book more relevant to modern readers references to the regiment, division etc. have been inserted into this edition. The war in Mesopotamia-known as Iraq since the 6th century-against the Ottoman Turkish empire was very different to the experience of the Western Front, but the fighting could be no less fierce and in one of its earliest engagements the regiment suffered terribly, providing yet another example of how the Great War destroyed 'family' regiments in minutes.This book provides an excellent insight into a highland regiment at war and is particularly interesting since the theatre of operations is familiar as the same one as the most recent conflict in the region.
