Blood on the sand:
The affair at qatia, 23 april 1916
In April 1916, the Ottoman Army made another attempt to cut the Suez Canal. This waterway was the link between Britain and her Far Eastern and Australian territories, and was strategically vital to maintaining the flow of men and raw materials to feed Britain’s war machine.
At Qatia (Katia, Katiya) and Oghratina, the Ottoman force, under Colonel Kress von Kressenstein, ran into outposts of the 5th Mounted Brigade. Consisting of the Queen’s Own Worcestershire Hussars, the Royal Gloucestershire Hussars, and the Warwickshire Yeomanry, backed by Royal Engineers and other support troops, the brigade was spread out across a wide area and soon cut off and surrounded by massively superior numbers. After a long and dogged defence under the burning sun, the garrison at Oghratina was wiped out and the one at Qatia nearly so. Nearly half the brigade was lost. Meanwhile, at Dueidar, an outpost of the 5th Battalion, Royal Scots Fusiliers, managed to hold out and even counter-attack. Although British casualties were heavy, the Ottomans also received a bloody nose, and were unable to proceed with their attack. Instead, they had to wait until reinforcements arrived in August, which would then face complete defeat at the Battle of Romani.
