ROWDEN, A.O. (1877-1960) – slides M.19, M.76, M.536, M.651, M.687
The slides show views in Mesopotamia (now Iraq), taken while Rowden was stationed there in the British army between summer 1918 and September 1919.
Rowden served in the Army Service Corps, based first in Basra and later in Baghdad, travelling there and back by boat along the River Tigris, and the subjects of the slides reflect this movement.
The slides are made from a series of 952 negatives, small paper prints from which are collected in an album put together by Rowden and now in a private collection. Most of the titles here are taken from Rowden's handwritten captions in the album.
The full set of photos includes many additional views not made into slides, showing Rowden's military colleagues and everyday life in Mesopotamia, also the homeward journey from Basra to Marseille via Suez and Alexandria.
