My Grandfather was in the 14th/18th Hussars in Mesapotamia then. When the armistice was signed, Russia tried to invade Mespot and were turned back by us Brits. We were in what is now Georgia but got out as soon as the Russian threat subsided.
My Grandad's commanding officer was Police Chief of Bahgdad, where are you now we need you, Tommy Kitson?
