Due to the depredations of the climate, sand storms and accidents A Flight of 30 Squadron was soon reduced to only two serviceable aircraft. Nevertheless these two machines provided crucial strategic observations of enemy positions assisting in the capture of the town. Four more modern B.E.2cs arrived at Basra together with four pilots and these were shipped up to Kut by river barge.  More info.  Buried Alive  In Action for 36 Hours  1st North Stafford in the Line  1st Scots Guards Charge  Through the Ruins  Transports Stopped  In Trenches  7th Northumberlands into Trenches  In Trenches  Brave Actions  Trench Work  New Line  In Camp  Billets Shelled  Reliefs Completed  Very Cold  Enemy Attacks  Quiet  TM Battery Arrives  A Draft Arrives  Wounds and Billeting  Trench Work  Exchange of Fire  Shelling  Patrols  Orders  Orders  Orders  Orders  Orders  In the Line    Move  Attack  Heavy Rain  On the Move  News  Gas  Into Billets  Orders  Training  In Reserve  On the Move  Reliefs  Working Parties  Quiet  Shelling  Moving Again  On the Move  Green's Force disbanded  Night Relief  Deserter Comes In  Bridge Destroyed  Returned to the trenches  Shelling  On the Move  Orders.  Battalion commended on recent action  Covering Guards Attack on Hill 70  Relief Completed  Reliefs  In German trenches.  Wounded  Consolidation  Enemy Firing Stopped to Allow Wounded to be Brought In  On the March  Bomb Accident  Course  Reinforcements  Reliefs Can you add to this factual information?
