doogal Posted 24 October , 2006 Share Posted 24 October , 2006 Hi, I have been reseaching a soldier from the West Kent regiment who fought in Mesopotamia - He arrived in mesopotamia on 6 feb 1915. his paybook says so, the history of the 2nd RWK says so, and he earned the 194-195 Star. However, on his MIC, his theatre code is "5a" - Can anyone confirm it is in fact mesopotamia, as I haven't seen any alphabetical affixes to 1915 theatre codes. many thanks doogal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trin1054 Posted 24 October , 2006 Share Posted 24 October , 2006 Hi, There's a list here that's useful here. Cheers, Marc EDIT: sorry - just realised you're talking about 1915, which makes it less useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
