FIGHTING ON THE

TIGRIS

NAVY'S GUNBOAT IN

THE WAR

"Tigris Gunboats," by Vice- Admiral Nunn, who was Soggior Naval Officer in the Mesopotamian River during most of the norlod up to the capture of Baghdnd in 1917, in a book which will be eagerly read by those who took part in this brilliant campaign, as well as by that large pubile which the tale of strange amphibious campaigns can always comniand.

Though recqunting graphically the military and serial operations of this remarkabla campaign, the author necessarily concentrates bia attention on the activities of the tiny craft in the great River Tigris, without which the major operations could not have been brought to their brilliant con- clusion..

The outbreak of war found H.M.S. Esplegle, one of the beauti- ful little sloops mounting 4in. guns and fitted with masts and yards on the East Indies Station. After rounding up as prizes somo Gorman merchantmen off Ceylon, she was ordered to the Shait ni Arab, where the Turks were al ready creating a diflsult altuation. From this time onward, until the capture of Baghdad, the render will be able to follow these strange adventures and ingenious make-shifts which went to the making of this campaign.

A Wily Foe.

We are afforded a striking pic- ture of the country in which men of all arms--Navy, Army, and Air Force strove against a wily foc among trencherous swamps and desert wastes. Courage, humour, and sometimes absurdity are to be found on the same page, while the leseription of battles and sickes forms a considerable addition to English war literature.

Admiral Nunn tells the remark- uble story of the capture of Amara by a tiny, gunboat Botilla, and of the chase by the Tigris gun- boats in 1917 which resulted in the destruction of the enemy van- sels. The battle of Ctesiphon. and the varying fortunes at Kut, which ended in its surrender, are graphically recounted.

To students of strategy the ex- traordinary vulnerability of the pipe-line from the Persian wells will not escape notice. Thus on February 5, 1915, a few nomadle Arabs shot holes in the pipe. line, and set the oil on fire at Girann, with the result that on February 6 oil ceased to reach Abadan for a considerable period.

At the end of April General Gorringe was instructed to take such military measures a might bo necessary for the early repair of the pipe-line. These operations are not, however, described 118 they were entirely military. By May 22 the Anglo-Peraian pipe- tine was repaired and pumping re- begun; leakages, however, caused a cessation, but by June 15 the oll was again received at Abadan.

"Will-O'-the-Wisp."

"We had come to Mesopotamio," Admiral Nunn writes. "to safe- guard the head of the Persian. Gulf and the oilfields. It had then been found necessary to hold Basra, to protect which we were led to capture Kurna and to oc- cupy Ahwaz. Now, in order to ensure the security of these hold- ings, the little force was led fur ther into the hostile country, to Amara and Nasiriya. The will-o'- the-wisp was to lead us still farther."

Anyone disposed to pooh-pooh the extraordinary vulnerability of the Navy's fuel supply could do worse than study carefully the true inwardness of this strange, and eventually great campaign which Admiral Nunn has no vivid. ly described. The book is lus- rated with many ine photographs and charte which well Illustrato the nature of the campaign.
