Aziziah
AZIZIAH (AL AZIZIYA): This prison camp was located in the Vilayet of Baghdad in northern Irak-Arabi. The city was situated on the north bank of the Tigris River, fifty miles west of Kut-al-Amara and fifty-five miles south of Baghdad. The Turks left 350 sick and wounded British and Indian prisoners of war at Aziziah as the remainder of the Kut garrison marched into captivity in Anatolia. The British recaptured Aziziah by March 1917.
