1918185020Basra: Base Isolation Hospital 7 January 1918. A medical logbook Army Book 27A for the Base Isolation Hospital in Basra recording the names and afflictions of over 250 Indian Persian Kurd Arab Chinese Turkish African and Mauritian participants in the Mesopotamian Campaign. A search of the National Archives returns only four documents related to this hospital none of them medical records. In the aftermath of the capture of Baghdad in March 1917 a vast network of hospitals was set up from the capital down to Basra treating both soldiers of the British and Indian armies and Turkish prisoners. "During 1918 the principal hospital areas on the lines of communication were Baghdad Kut Amara and Basra. Special dental ophthalmological and other departments such as bathing establishments were instituted and excellently organized. All the hospitals were made as perfect as possible" MacPherson & Mitchell p. 355. Basra itself contained approximately 14 hospitals including Base Isolation Hospital. This medical logbook notes the race age rank name and role of each of the 250 people admitted in 1918. Some of the afflictions include abscesses tachycardia malaria influenza sepsis and scurvy. The majority of soldiers survived their stays although the dates of death of those who did not are also recorded. Octavo. Printed tables throughout 26 pp. filled in with manuscript 52 pp. blank. Original pink paper wrappers red cloth backstrip string-stitched and glued into wrappers as issued paper label on front wrapper annotated in manuscript fore-edge flap with pink silk bookmarker at rear. Contemporary signature of G. A. Harrison on the front wrapper. Heavily sunned wrappers a little soiled creased and nicked at edges paper label lifting at one edge but secure contents slightly toned and occasionally foxed dust-soiling in gutters: a very good example.

1925185029Calcutta: Government of India Press 1925. The ground enormously favoured the defence First edition of this detailed campaign history issued for official use only and complete as a two-part set. Nine sets are held institutionally but we have traced only a standalone copy of Part II in recent commerce. Comprehensive in scope the work was compiled for officers studying military strategy and tactics and was intended to be read alongside the published volumes of Brigadier-General F. J. Moberly's History of the Great War: The Campaign in Mesopotamia 1914-1918. "Where on point of fact the story is at variance with the version given in the official history it has been allowed to stand unaltered nor have the criticisms been changed in any way" introduction. The contents grew out of a 1923 tour of the Mesopotamian battlefields by personnel from the Staff College Quetta and several chapters were contributed by the military strategist and historian Major General Sir Wilkinson Dent Bird. Chapter XXV offers insightful reflections on the affect of terrain and geography on the prosecution of the war. This point is also stressed by plates reproducing aerial battlefield photographs that were taken specially by the RAF. The table of contents for Part II calls for 26 maps but the 26th "Explanation of the method of giving map co-ordinates" was likely either never issued or only issued with a few copies. It is not included in the set held in the India Office records at the British Library nor in the other copy traced in commerce. Our copy similarly has only 25. Sets are recorded at the British Library Imperial War Museum King's College London the London Library Texas A&M SUNY Potsdam Stellenbosch Defence Science and Technology Group Australia and UNSW Canberra Academy the map volume incomplete. WorldCat also lists a holding at Calgary but this seemingly includes Part I only. 2 vols octavo. Part I: 20 half-tone plates that facing p. 186 not called for: "Part of Sinn Abtar Redoubt Looking East". Part II: 25 maps some folding. Part I: Original drab boards yellow cloth backstrip spine and front cover lettered in black. Part II: Original light yellow linen map case printed title label. Front free endpaper and map case with ownership signature of Captain A. G. Armstrong 8th Indian Infantry Brigade which served in the Mesopotamian Campaign; occasional pencil sidelining likely his internally. Volume and case worn as expected for this type of material but sturdy Part I with browning and staining to front cover and at places internally the maps in Part II with edge wear and creasing from evident use a few small splits: a very good set. Not in Wells. hardcover
1917184984London: His Majesty's Stationery Office 1917. Simla censured First edition. This report into the disastrous advance on Baghdad and the Siege of Kut heavily criticized Simla and the "confident optimism" of General Sir John Nixon p. 111. Its findings overhauled the prosecution of the Mesopotamian Campaign which became the purview of the War Office and experienced Western Front generals such as Stanley Maude. Parliamentary approval for an investigation into the Mesopotamia fiasco was granted by the Special Commissions Dardanelles and Mesopotamia Act of 1916 and Lord George Hamilton a former Secretary of State for India and First Lord of the Admiralty chaired the wide-ranging enquiry. The commission met over 60 times interviewed dozens of witnesses and trawled documentary evidence and witness statements. The final verdict laid the blame principally on Nixon and the inadequacies of the Government of India and the Indian Army: "In consequence of such want of touch the Military Authorities at Simla did not appreciate the difficulties of campaigning in Mesopotamia and from such lack of knowledge failed to make sufficient provision for surmounting the difficulties and drawbacks" p. 111. Quarto. Map folding chart illustrations labelled annexures II and III Annexure I not issued. Original blue wrappers spine and covers printed in black. Ex-London County Council Library with its annotated ink stamp on front cover. Small loss at foot of spine occasional cockling and spotting internally 90 mm stub tear: very good. unknown
