EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative Forces Greetings card from Christmas 1917 features a reverse side adorned with a detailed map of the Mesopotamian Campaign of the Mesopotamian Expeditionary Force (MEF) during World War I. The theatre of war in the Middle East, also known as the Eastern Front of the conflict, saw intense fighting between 1914 and 1918, primarily in modern-day Iraq, Iran, and the Persian Gulf. The map illustrates the strategic locations of major cities and towns, including Basra and Baghdad, that were key objectives for the British forces aiming to secure the region and protect the vital oil supplies. The Tigris and Euphrates rivers, cradles of ancient civilizations, are prominently displayed, as they played a significant role in both military and logistical operations. The Mesopotamian Campaign, which began with the landing of British forces in Basra in November 1914, was marked by numerous battles and hardships. The harsh desert conditions, disease, and logistical challenges tested the resolve of the soldiers. The capture of Baghdad in March 1917 was a major victory for the Allies, but the campaign continued until the Armistice of Mudros in October 1918. This map serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and challenges of the Mesopotamian Campaign during WWI, a crucial yet often overlooked theatre of the war. The card's reverse side offers a glimpse into the strategic planning and military operations that took place in this region, which continues to shape global history and geopolitics.
