Dujaila Redoubt-Mesopotamia

[smudge]

While researching the history of 6th Battalion Loyal North Lanc's,came across a referance to a group called "The Budhoo Gangs",who robbed the dead and killed any wounded.Who were they?and did this happen to both sides.

Any other info on 6th service battalion the Loyals -middle east?

Thanks

It's British army slang for Arab marauders who preyed on

the wounded and dead of both armies, murdering and stripping

them of their clothes.
