Travers and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "With a Highland Regiment in Mesopotamia" by Anonymous is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work documents the experiences and struggles of the 2nd Battalion of a Highland regiment during their deployment in Mesopotamia from 1916 to 1917, providing insights into military life, the harsh conditions faced by the soldiers, and the bravery exhibited in the face of adversity. The opening of this narrative introduces the background of the 2nd Battalion, detailing its origins in Bareilly, India, and its transition from the Western Front in France to the deserts of Mesopotamia. The unnamed officer, who serves as the narrator, sets the stage by recounting the optimism of the Highlanders as they prepare for what they expect to be an adventure in a foreign land to relieve their comrades in Kut. However, the ensuing hardships, intense battles, and the subsequent reality of war in Mesopotamia become clear as the narrative unfolds. The official notes and interactions with significant military figures hint at the gallantry and camaraderie that characterize this regiment's journey, contrasting the initial excitement with the grim conditions they ultimately endure.
