GEORGE, R.I.,
Colonel-in-Chief.
Order by G. O. C., —— Division.
I cannot speak too highly of the splendid gallantry of the —— Highlanders, aided by a party of the —— Jats, in storming the Turkish Trenches.
Their noble achievement is one of the highest.
They showed qualities of endurance and courage under circumstances so adverse, as to be almost phenomenal.
Sir George Younghusband,
Commanding —— Division.
After the action fought on the 21st January 1916 on the Tigris the above was published.
Letter to O. C. 2nd Battalion ——.
