Ed_Haynes Posted 26 December , 2002 Share Posted 26 December , 2002 Greetings - my maiden posting.I am interested in Indian POWs taken by the Turks after the fall of Kut. While I have the list of POWs, and have done some cross-checking with CWGC and other sources on these men, I am having a hard time finding the order(s) for mentions in dispatches for them.Help a newbie, please!Ed Haynes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Reed Posted 26 December , 2002 Share Posted 26 December , 2002 Do you have the Indian Army honours and awards, which was reprinted in the 1980s? If not I can check it for you - if I can find it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stephenf Posted 17 January , 2003 Share Posted 17 January , 2003 Hi Ed, I have been trying to establish for some time if my great grandfather was taken prisoner at Kut or if he was taken in other operations in Mespot. Any leads i have come across have pointed me in the direction of Kut. He was a territorial soldier serving with the 2/4th Devonshires in india and was posted to Mespot Aug 1915. The 2/4th Devons did not deploy untill 1917. I found an entry in the war diary of 2nd Royal West Kents stating they received a draft of 150 men from the 2/4th Devons and other Territorial Battalions. Does your list include British Prisoners? if so is 3215 Pte J Perham included. wishfull thinking i know, one can only ask. Many thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
