Come and hear how the Tigers could with valour and distinction during the attempted relief of Kut. Capture of Baghdad and the pursuit of the Ottomans in the later part of 1917. Hair raising stuff. There’ll be plenty of maps, real life stories and rare photos.

A long shot, perhaps, but is anyone due to visit the British Library soon and who could consult an Indian Army officer's service record for me? I am just after one or two specific details. #ww1 #genealogy

“He died that others might live.” Very heavy words, carved into the headstone of a soldier who was only 16 years old. A simple epitaph, but an extraordinarily powerful reminder of the sacrifice made by so many young men during the First World War. 📍Peronne Road Cemetery 🇫🇷
