[edit] Moving

Somebody should move this into a section called "MesOpotamian Campaign". Don't capitalize the first O. I know it sounds like an Ā but it's O. If somebody types in the proper spelling, they won't get anything. I'm to new so please, somebody do it.

Fix it. Someone PLEASE! - Doodle77

[edit] The First Year - The Siege of Kut

Who is this "old Ottoman general, Tukrat Muvasha"? Could it be the old German general Colmar Freiherr von der Goltz, who is mentioned in other sources relating to this campaign as well as his own Wikipedia page? The facts about this general , e.g. laying siege, dying of typhus, do match up. Alandeus (talk) 08:50, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

 Thanks, Cglassey for the editing!
