A first person account from the British ranks of the Mesopotamia Campaign, up to and including the Siege of Kut and its brutal aftermath. The emphasis on the author's activities off duty, and the fact that he escapes from his Turkish captors before the worst of the journey into captivity is over, undermines his credibility as a totally reliable military witness.
