In den WarenkorbHardcover. Excellent. Dissected and mounted on linen as issued; original boards removed but present. Size 28 x 26 Inches. This is a 1915 edition of the British War Office map of Lower Mesopotamia, the authoritative map of Central and Southern Iraq, Kuwait, and Khuzestan (Iran). This map was first issued in 1907, at which time it… was considered the most accurate regional map. This edition, updated to 1915, was used by both sides in World War I (1914 - 1918). A Closer Look The map details the Euphrates and Tigris watershed, predominantly central and southern Iraq, from Baghdad to Basra and the Persian Gulf, including most of Kuwait and the Khuzestan Province in southwestern Persia. This was mostly Ottoman territory at the beginning of World War I, with Kuwait as a British protectorate. Southern Persia was a British zone of influence, based on the interests of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company. Oft Updated and Pirated The map was updated by the British War Office in June 1911, December 1915 (this example), 1916, and 1919. So excellent was this cartography that it was pirated twice by the German military: first in 1915 based on the British 1911 edition, and then in 1917 based on the British 1916 edition. It would not be the first time that combatants would go to war armed with the same maps, but it is nevertheless a remarkable instance of the phenomenon. Preparing for War The 1911 and 1915 editions are cartographically nearly identical, except that the 1915 has been updated with measurements for the heights of the banks along the Tigris and the Shatt-al-Arab. Earlier versions have the measurements in meters, but here they have been recalibrated in feet. Since the British campaign in Mesopotamia was based on a foothold in Basra and was aimed at the capture of Baghdad, the route presented by these two waterways was significant both for the movement of troops and for resupply, and knowledge of the height of the banks at different points was crucial. The German Edition At some point in 1915, the Cartographic Service of the General Staff of the German Army in Berlin produced a pirated edition of the 1911 edition of this map, and it - like the British edition it copied - would have been the best general map available to officers engaged in the theatre. Although the actual troops facing Britain during the campaign were Ottoman, the Germans actively guided and armed the Turkish side. Indeed the army defending Baghdad at the end of 1915 was commanded by the Prussian Colmar Von der Goltz, who commanded the successful Ottoman-German defense at the Battle of Ctesiphon (November 22-25, 1915), and who would besiege and ultimately capture the British army at the Siege of Kut-al-Amara (December 7, 1915 - April 29, 1916). Time To Improve The Map It is in the context of this discouraging (for the British) turn of events that the present, December 1915 edition of the map was prepared. Throughout the defeat at Ctesiphon and the Siege of Kut, the main British difficulty was resupply. Scrutiny of the map will show that between Basra and Kut, there were no rail lines or suitable roads; the terrain by land is characterized by marshland prone to flooding. Thus, this map's resurvey and more granular measurement of the rivers and their banks - the only promising route for keeping the British army at Kut in communication. (It wasn't enough.) Captain G. Bonham Carter This example of the map was bound and sold by Stanfords' (and resold by Hugh Rees in London). The label on the covers bears the owners' name, unit, and date: 'Captain G. (Gerard) Bonham Carter 3rd Bn. Royal West-Kent Regt., May 1916.' The 3rd Battalion of the Royal West Kent Regiment was a Garrison unit, stationed in the Home Counties during the war. Bonham Carter's brother Charles (later General Sir Charles), however, had been in the 2nd Battalion of the same unit, and they were deployed in Mesopotamia from 1915 until the end of the war and would have been active in the campaigns there. In fact, two companies.

In den WarenkorbVery good. Toning and wear along fold lines. Size 25.5 x 32 Inches. A large and important 1915 map of the region around Baghdad, then part of the Ottoman Empire, produced by the British Ordnance Survey and War Office. At this time, the region south of Baghdad was contested by British and Ottoman forces as part of the Mesopotamia… Campaign of World War I (1914 - 1918). The map is also significant for being the first printed map to show the Baghdad-Tikrit Railway, part of the larger planned Berlin-Baghdad Railway. A Closer Look Covering the region around Baghdad, then seat of the Ottoman Vilayet of Baghdad, this map includes a range of topographic, infrastructural, and military information that would be essential to British war planners. Roads and paths of various types and qualities (including 'metalled' roads, that is, paved roads), telegraphs, railways, waterways, fortifications, holy sites, elevation, and other features are indicated throughout. Much is made of the beds of ancient canals which fed the great city with water; a note at bottom-right reveals that these were militarily important as they rose above the surrounding countryside, creating a sort of 'natural' fortification. Among the sources relied upon that are listed at bottom are the surveys of W. Willcocks in 1909 - 1910, which were printed in Lorimer's Report on a tour in Turkish Arabia and Kurdistan and were the first printed record of the Baghdad Railway to Tikrit, seen at top here. This line was part of the Berlin-Baghdad Railway begun in 1903, an ambitious project that was partially finished by 1914 but sidelined by the war and only completed in 1940. A Mess in Mesopotamia Both the British and Ottomans initially considered Mesopotamia to be a secondary theater of war, but Britain became concerned about ensuring its position on the Persian Gulf and its interests in Persia (including oil refineries). In late November 1914, the British captured Basra and in April 1915 repelled an Ottoman counter-attack. These successes prompted calls for British troops to march all the way to Baghdad, especially from politicians who saw such a development as symbolically important, though military planners had doubts about such an ambitious campaign. Staying close to the Tigris and Euphrates, British forces won a succession of small battles but gradually reached far beyond their supply lines, as military leaders had feared. With time to prepare a defense of Baghdad, the Ottomans established lines south of the city near Ctesiphon (along the Tigris near bottom), where a large, several-day long battle in November 1915 was inconclusive. Both sides initially retreated, but the Ottoman commander recognized the precarious position of the British troops and turned around to pursue them. The British fell back to Kut, where they were besieged by Ottoman forces, who also quickly took measures to prevent the city's relief by another British army. Eventually, after six months, the besieged troops were forced to surrender, delivering the British a humiliating defeat. The following year, renewed efforts recaptured Kut and captured Baghdad, but the Ottomans had shown themselves to be a tougher opponent than expected, forcing the British to divert resources from elsewhere. The Map's Provenance A note at bottom-right discusses the provenance of this example: 'This map belonged to Sir Charles [should read 'Thomas'] Berry Cusack-Smith who commanded a R.A. [Royal Artillery] unit in Mesopotamia. Later he was a governor of Brighton College.' Prior to his military career, Cusack-Smith served as the British Consul in Samoa from 1890 to 1898, and then took the same position in Chile. In 1905, he retired to Brighton and joined the Sussex Volunteer Corps. When World War I began, he was appointed a commanding officer in the 1st Home Counties Brigade, Royal Field Artillery, with whom he served in India and Mesopotamia. Publication History and Census This map was drawn by the Ordnance Survey and printed in 191.
