A highland regiment at war in the East
When this book was originally published both the regiment and
author remained anonymous. Today we know it concerns the wartime
experiences of the 2nd Battalion, The Black Watch and that its
author-an officer of the regiment-was Blampied. To make the book
more relevant to modern readers references to the regiment,
division etc. have been inserted into this edition. The war in
Mesopotamia-known as Iraq since the 6th century-against the Ottoman
Turkish empire was very different to the experience of the Western
Front, but the fighting could be no less fierce and in one of its
earliest engagements the regiment suffered terribly, providing yet
another example of how the Great War destroyed 'family' regiments
in minutes.
This book provides an excellent insight into a highland regiment at
war and is particularly interesting since the theatre of operations
is familiar as the same one as the most recent conflict in the
region.
