In December 1915 a British expeditionary force was besieged by a strong German-led Turkish army
at Kut Al Amara on the Tigris River. The garrison, two thirds of which was Indian, surrendered on 29th April 1916. During the period of captivity in Anatolia many died from heat, disease and neglect. This emaciated sepoy was photographed after he had been liberated during an exchange of prisoners.
