Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Indian Army Regiment fought in the campaign in Mesopotamia (today s Iraq) from April 1915. It took part in the battle of Shaiba, the advance to Ctesiphon, and the retreat to Kut-al-Amara that followed. Along with the other units involved in that disastrous episode, the 24th was effectively destroyed in the subsequent siege, and the survivors were compelled to surrender when General Sir Charles Townshend capitulated in April 1916. One chapter is devoted to the appalling sufferings of these men in Turkish captivity. The Regiment was subsequently reformed with new personnel and again served in Mesopotamia - and later in Salonika, south Russia and Anatolia between 1917 and 1920. In 1922 it was retitled the 4/14th Punjab regiment. This is a rare record of one of the Great War s worst disasters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personnel serving in Egypt in the Great War often complained that the popular impression of the campaigns, still widely held, was that it was a sideshow, with troops enjoying a holiday among the pyramids and the ‘fleshpots’ of Cairo. Actually they faced appalling heat, abrasive sand, poor rations and water shortages. In the desolation of the Western Desert they fought the Senussi, an Islamic sect supported by the Ottomans in a reversal of Lawrence’s later work with the Arabs, while in the Sinai Desert they countered German-backed moves to dominate this strategically important area. Meanwhile, the Royal Navy fought to keep the supply lines to Gallipoli open, and keep men and material flowing to France from India, Australia and New Zealand. This book will tell the true story of their experiences and achievements in fighting a determined enemy to protect the Suez Canal – the lifeline of the Empire.
