'A British Position on the River Tigris', (1919). Scene from the First World War, 1914-1919: 'Photograph by a British airman, showing one of the important points in the line of advance on Baghdad [in modern-day Iraq] up the valley of the Tigris. Along the banks...are numerous patches of cultivated gardens and villages within high mud-wall enclosures, belts of date-palms, with an occasional fringe of willow, which in the rainy season become mere oases in a vast inland sea.' From "The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects", Vol. V, by W. Stanley Macbean Knight. [Caxton Pulishing Company, Limited, London, 1919]
