Fine, detailed & exceptionally well illustrated account by Assistant Director of I.W.T. in Mesopotamia, mainly ferrying supplies in a large number of vessels on the Tigris & Euphrates: this was a crucial aspect of the campaign as these main arteries were used for almost all supplies as well as transhipment of troops & evacuation of casualties. Includes descriptions of the Waterways of Mesopotamia, Departmental & Sectional Organisation of the I.W.T., casualty roll (all ranks, noting date of death & where buried), roll of awards & much other interesting data. Modern binding, cloth sides with rexine backstrip, titled in gilt "Inland Waterways Mesopotamia." Unattractive but VG thus & an inexpensive copy. See illustrations on our website.
