 The attempts to relieve Kut, 1916
Lieut-General Sir Fenton Aylmer, OC Tigris Corps, was perplexed by the strong resistance of the Turks since the advance began.
The 6th (Poona) Division was still besieged in Kut, and Townshend's latest report was that supplies would last 84 more days (not the 22 days he had initially indicated, which forced the urgent early attempts at relief that had cost many men their lives).
Aylmer was broken by this latest failure and was replaced as OC Tigris Corps by George Gorringe (left), newly promoted to Lieutenant-General.
