After many setbacks, they finally took Baghdad in March This marked the high point of a long and tragic campaign characterised by bitter fighting in a harsh climate. In November , an Indian division occupied the port of Basra. Britain believed a successful campaign here would help rally the Arabs against the Turks. One division moved up the River Euphrates to Nasiriya. From Amara, Townshend was ordered to push on; first to Kut, and then to Baghdad, the provincial capital, some km miles away. His division entered Kut on 28 September , having inflicted heavy losses on the Turks. By mid-November, it was only 40km 25 miles from Baghdad. But a single division was not strong enough for such an operation. Sickness and a lack of artillery, ammunition and supplies had seriously weakened Townshend's force. Even if he had been able to capture Baghdad, he did not have the necessary reserves or logistical support to retain it. On November , Townshend was blocked by the Turks at Ctesiphon. Suffering heavy losses, he decided to retreat back to Kut. Major-General Townsend middle front row and his Turkish captors after the surrender at Kut, For the next few weeks, they launched attacks against the Kut defences. Along with the regular shelling, this took a steady toll on the garrison, which only had food and supplies to last two and a half months. The defenders slowly starved. The assault began at dawn on 6 January Lacking any elevated ground, effective aerial reconnaissance, or enough cavalry, the attacking troops had to feel their way through mist to discover where enemy positions started or ended. Trying to manage the battle on both sides of the river, Younghusband was unable to control his forces properly. His attack failed with heavy losses on both banks. Aylmer arrived with reinforcements, so another attack was launched the next day. But this too was beaten off. Attacking again during the night of January, the British were then surprised to discover the Turkish trenches unoccupied. In fact, the Turks had withdrawn overnight, perhaps overestimating British strength. Aylmer pushed on and rapidly reached Hanna, about 16km 10 miles from Kut. However, he was unable to break through during the Battle of the Wadi and the Battle of Hanna between 13 and 21 January Further attacks by the relief force in March and April all failed with heavy losses. In attempting to rescue the men at Kut, the relieving force suffered around 23, casualties. By the end of April , the Kut garrison was starving and sickness was rife. With no prospect of relief, Townshend was ordered to begin negotiations with the Turks. At the same time, the garrison started to destroy its ammunition and equipment. On 29 April, the garrison surrendered and 13, men marched into captivity. A third were to die from disease, malnutrition and cruel treatment. Tigris Corps retreated to Basra, where the British spent the remainder of the year rebuilding their forces. The extreme heat in Mesopotamia - alongside poor medical facilities, lack of clean water, flies, mosquitoes and vermin - led to appalling levels of sickness and death from disease. Despite the best efforts of medical staff, thousands of soldiers died, especially in the early part of the campaign. For example, medical arrangements for the Kut relief forces were completely inadequate, made worse by rain and mud. Provision had been made to handle casualties. By 9 January , there were 4, in Tigris Corps. Many wounded had to wait 10 days before they were assessed at field ambulances and sent to hospitals at Basra. Unlike his predecessors, Maude was a methodical leader whose force was boosted by increased artillery and improved logistical, medical and transport support. On 13 December , Maude began a second advance up both banks of the Tigris with an Anglo-Indian force of , men. At first, he made slow progress. An attack on the Khadairi Bend, a fortified river loop, which started in early January , was held up. But by early February, British troops had begun to close in on Kut. They secured the river bank to the south of Kut. But the advance on the north bank of the Tigris was delayed downriver at Sanniyat. Maude decided to cross the river at the Shumran Bend, upstream of Kut, to cut off Turkish communications with Baghdad and besiege the town. In turn, this would force the enemy to abandon Sanniyat, and allow the force on the north bank to continue its advance. The amphibious attack at Shumran began on 23 February It was spearheaded by 37th Indian Brigade. They overcame the defenders and pushed them back far enough to allow construction of a pontoon bridge to move men and supplies across the river. By nightfall, two divisions were across the river and pushing on to Kut. A diversionary attack downstream at Sanniyat also managed to break through, increasing the pressure on the Ottoman defenders. They abandoned Kut the following day and began retreating towards Baghdad, pursued by Royal Navy gun boats. Here, he deployed his men so skillfully that the Turks were forced to abandon their lines without a major fight. On 11 March, British forces marched into the city. The Turks withdrew north and established their headquarters at Mosul. The British resumed their offensive in late February , but this petered out in April after they had to divert troops to Palestine to support the operations there. As armistice negotiations began, the British attempted to strengthen their bargaining position by renewing their advance. They defeated the Turkish 6th Army at the Battle of Sharqat October a week before the signing of the Armistice of Mudros, which ended the war. Although the armistice said both sides were supposed to retain their current positions, the British pushed on to secure oil-rich Mosul on 14 November The campaign had finally been won, but at great cost. With over , British Empire troops committed against far fewer Turks, the whole deployment was arguably a drain on British resources that could have been used on other fronts. The British suffered over 85, battle casualties in Mesopotamia. Many more men were hospitalised for non-battle causes, like sickness. Nearly 17, men died from disease. The new state of Iraq became a British mandate against the wishes of its inhabitants. In , a major revolt broke out in the country, which the British eventually suppressed. Gallipoli was the first major amphibious operation in modern warfare. In , British Empire and French troops landed on the Ottoman-held peninsula in the Dardanelles Straits with disastrous consequences for the Allies. The struggle against the Turks in Egypt and Palestine began with a test of endurance and engineering in harsh desert terrain. It evolved into a fast-moving mobile campaign, which resulted in Allied victory and the fall of the Ottoman Empire. In , the British assembled a handpicked unit to carry out a daring secret mission to the Caucasus. Their aim was to unify into an effective force the various anti-Bolshevik and anti-Turkish groups fighting there. The campaign against them took place in the unforgiving climate of the Western Desert. In June , a British military mission began recruiting a local force in neutral Persia. Its goal was to bolster Allied interests and prevent enemy influence in the region. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Be the first to hear about our latest events, exhibitions and offers.

A howitzer being loaded onto a raft at Basra, Troops disembarking from shallow-draught steamers, c We found afterwards that they had been re-inforced with about 5, fresh troops. The 82nd Battery and ourselves were sent forward to try and stop it. I think we managed to do so, for a time anyhow, but it was a very warm time. They then attacked from another quarter and drove our infantry in and we had to limber up and get out as quickly as we could under a most beastly hot fire. A horse drawn tram with troops on the way to relieve Kut, For the first half of the day most of the firing was on the other side of the river from both artillery and infantry. The rattle of rifle fire intensified as the action developed and was punctuated by the regular, heavy boom of the cannon. Far away in the distance our shrapnel and shells were bursting in the air, forming snow white clouds. This is our first shrapnel shell… For the next three hours the enemy steadily plastered us with shrapnel… I turned round and saw a shell fall in the middle of one of our support platoons. Arms and legs and fragments of men were tossed aloft in a swirl of yellow and brown and when the dust had blown away nothing of the platoon remained. The companies advancing behind us were decimated by shell fire.
