Description
Kalat Shergat (Shargat), Mesopotamia. 1918-10. A soldier looks southward over the ruins of the ancient city of Asshur. The hill he is standing on is all that remains of the temple tower. Moving along the road below are three military vehicles while in the distance are the tent lines of the Mesopotamian Expeditionary Force including 1st Wireless Signal Squadron. (Donor E. Keast Burke)
