3 dez 1914 ano - First attack on Qurna

Descrição:

On 3 December, the Ottomans were dug in at Qurna. A British force of two Indian battalions; the 104th Wellesley's Rifles and the 110th Mahratta Light Infantry, and a double company of British soldiers from the Norfolk Regiment accompanied by several gunboats attacked them.[2] The Royal Navy vessels on the Euphrates kept the Ottomans under fire while British troops managed to cross the Tigris.[3] The British and Indian troops advanced across open ground but no crossing could be made across the river into Qurna itself. The British force retired.
