the Tigris and are in possession of the River Euphrates as far as Nasiriych, which town we recently took after hard fighting.
Since April there has been terrific beat, the whole of the country until within and tremendous foods have inundated the last five or six weeks. I am told that the casualties owing to the heat have been very great. The Indian troops have felt it quite as much as the white troops. Troops who have been in trenches for two or three days and have but little sleep at night owing to myriads of mosquitoes cannot do much after they have taken the enemy trenches at the point of the bayonet.
Since the taking of Nasiriyeh we haya been quietly concentrating, and possibly
an advance will soon be made again. Future movements are kept very quiet, and I therefore cannot say for certain what these may be. In another month the great heat will be over, while the ground will be sun-baked and hard enough to carry any weight.
