M. Hammond | Battle in Iraq recounts the First World War experiences of British marine engineer William Reed, drawing on the diaries of his granddaughter, Josephine Hammond. Reed arrived in Persia shortly before the war to work as chief engineer aboard the Julnar, a vessel owned by the Euphrates and Tigris Steam Navigation Company in Baghdad. As a Royal Naval Reservist, he was drawn into the war effort, transporting troops and supplies along the Tigris River. | Reed's account places his personal experiences within the unfolding events of the Mesopotamian Front and the wider history of Iraq during the war.
