Despite numerous relief expeditions coming to the aid of the

British, the efforts failed. Since the ammunition and food sup-
plies were running out and supplies transported through the

rivers were insufficient, the British army sustained heavy
losses both due to hunger and disease. The British launched

another attack on March 8, 1916 in Dujaila (Sabis) on
th
the 13 Division of the Ottoman army led by Colonel
Ali İhsan Bey, but lost 3,500 soldiers in the Battle of
Dujaila and had to withdraw.

In the early stages of the Battle of Kut,
British troops took Turkish soldiers as pris-
oners. However, in the end, it was the
British that suffered a major defeat.
