There is a WW1 Unit I know of Eddie, it is Indian Army - Basrah Surveys Department.

I don't even know if they had their own cap badge let alone shoulder title?

That's one of the ones I am considering. There is also the "Basra School".
Someoen will know but will they be someone here!

I have been told this may relate to the Basra Port Authority set up in 1922 by the Brits and lasted until 1958.
Any other ideas?
