Summary: "The Leicestershires Beyond Baghdad" by Edward John Thompson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the experiences of the 2nd Leicestershire Regiment during the Mesopotamian Campaign of World War I, particularly the battles leading to Baghdad. Thompson offers insights into the daily life of soldiers, their camaraderie, and the harsh realities of warfare in a distant land, detailed through a mix of personal narrative and broader historical context. The opening of the work sets the stage for the Mesopotamian War, emphasizing its often-overlooked significance in contrast to the Western Front. Thompson introduces the reader to the Leicestershires and highlights the lack of recognition they received, even as they participated in crucial operations. He reflects on a specific campaign to retake Baghdad, detailing military strategies and the experiences of soldiers on the ground. The narrative powerfully portrays the blend of fear, bravery, and the humanity of soldiers amidst the grim realities of war, laying the groundwork for a detailed recount of the battles and the personal stories that accompany them in subsequent chapters.
