Nick Posted 8 April , 2010 Share Posted 8 April , 2010 An easy question I suspect, but one that has stumped me this afternoon. Who commanded the 7th (Meerut) Division during the advance towards Kut-al-Amara from Jan-April 1916, and particularly at the battle at Sannaiyat on 22nd April? Any good links to this action also appreciated. Names of Brigade commanders (19th and 21st especially) would also be greatly appreciated. Cheers and thanks Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
