ABOUT
This is New Zealand born and educated Surgeon, Campbell Beggs book about his grueling wartime experience in the area which is now Iraq.
It was originally written in 1919 immediately following his demobillization from the army - but was not published for another 40 odd years.
The author shares the experiences of an isolated British Army division between Tigris and the Suwaikieh marsh, giving a week-to-week account of the sufferings and attrition of the men and animals under trying conditions.
Includes monochrome illustrations.
