An earlier Iraq invasion

Long before George W. Bush’s Iraq invasion, the British invaded the Middle East during WWI. Here, in a photo cleared by British censors for publication on or after March 11, 1918, this 6.5″ X 8.5″ photo contained the following caption (seen on back with British censor stamp of approval):

WITH THE TROOPS IN MESOPOTAMIA.
TURKS WHO HAVE BEEN TAKEN PRISONER BEING MARCHED DOWN NEW STREET, BAGHDAD.
