The Memory of My Father
Kermit Roosevelt From the drawing by John S. Sargent, July 8, 1917
THE TIGRIS FRONT
A few days after reaching Baghdad I leftfor Samarra, which was at that time the Tigrisfront. I was attached to the Royal Engineers,and my immediate commander was MajorMorin, D.S.O., an able officer with an enviablerecord in France and Mesopotamia. Theadvance army of the Tigris was the Third IndianArmy Corps, under the command ofGeneral Cobbe, a possessor of the coveted,and invariably merited, Victoria Cross. TheEngineers were efficiently commanded by GeneralSwiney. The seventy miles of railro...
PATROLLING THE RUINS OF BABYLON
We returned to find Samarra buried in dustand more desolate than ever. A few dayslater came the first rain-storm. After a night'sdownpour the air was radiantly clear, and itwas joy to ride off on the rounds, no longerlike Zeus, enveloped in a cloud. It was a relief to see the heat-stroke campsbroken up. During the summer months ourranks were fearfully thinned through the sun.Although it was the British troops that sufferedmost, the Indians were by no means immune.Before the camps were properl...
SKIRMISHES AND RECONNAISSANCES ALONG THE KURDISH FRONT
We spent a few days making repairs andoutfitting before starting off again. This timeour destination was Deli Abbas, the headquartersof the Thirteenth Division. Thetown is situated in the plains below the foot-hillsof the Persian Mountains, on the banksof the Khalis Canal, some seventy miles north-eastof Baghdad. At dawn we passed out ofthe north gate, close to where General Maudeis buried, and whirled across the desert forthirty miles to Bakuba, a prosperous city onthe banks of the Diyala. F...
BAGHDAD SKETCHES
Although never in Baghdad for long at atime, I generally had occasion to spend fouror five days there every other month. Thelife in any city is complex and interesting, buthere it was especially so. We were among atotally foreign people, but the ever-felt intangiblebarrier of color was not present. For manyof the opportunities to mingle with the nativesI was indebted to Oscar Heizer, the Americanconsul. Mr. Heizer has been twenty-fiveyears in the Levant, the greater part of whichtime he has s...
THE ATTACK ON THE PERSIAN FRONT
When I reached headquarters after the attackon the Euphrates front, I was expectingto hear that my transfer to France had gonethrough and receive orders to proceed thitherimmediately. It had always been my intentionto try to join the American army once itbegan to take a real part in the war, and forsome time past I had been casting about inmy mind for the best method to carry out myplans. When affairs looked so very black forthe Allied forces in March and April, 1918, Idecided that France was...
BACK THROUGH PALESTINE
Several days later I embarked at Baghdadon one of the river boats. I took Yusuf withme to Busra to put me aboard the transportfor Egypt. It was the first time he had everbeen that far down-stream, and he showed afine contempt for everything he saw, comparingit in most disparaging terms to his owndesolate native town of Samarra. The cheapness,variety, and plenty of the food in thebazaars of Busra were the only things that heallowed in any way to impress him. I was fortunate enough to run into...
