"The Leicestershires Beyond Baghdad"

[sbrownlee]

This may have been posted already but I recently discovered a fascinating and very colourful first-hand account of the Mesopotamian war, the Samarra and Tekrit campaigns of 1917. It's called The Leicestershires Beyond Baghdad by Edward J Thompson and is available at http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/9/3/7/1937...9-h/19379-h.htm.
