EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Ashar Barracks in Basra, Iraq, during the Mesopotamian campaign of World War I. The image, taken circa 1916, reveals the Union flag proudly displayed on the left side of the barracks' facade. This symbolic display denotes the British military's successful capture of Basra from the Ottoman Turks in 1915. The 1st Union Jack Battalion, part of the 60th Rifles, had played a crucial role in the Battle of Basra, which marked the beginning of the British advance into Mesopotamia. The street scene outside the barracks is bustling with activity, as soldiers and civilians go about their daily business. The image offers a unique glimpse into the frontlines of the Mesopotamian campaign, a lesser-known yet significant theatre of World War I. The Ashar Barracks, now known as the Basrah Police College, stand as a testament to the rich history of the region and the pivotal role it played in the Great War.
