Jim_Grundy Posted 31 October , 2002 Share Posted 31 October , 2002 Does anyone know of a good source for the capture of Ramadi by British & Indian troops in September 1917? I am particularly interested in the role played by the 1/5th Queen's. Thanks. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Thompson Posted 31 October , 2002 Share Posted 31 October , 2002 Jim, There are a few pages covering the capture of Ramadi in "The Neglected War" by A.J. Barker. Not a great deal of detail on 1/5th Queen's involvement though. Regards Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
