The account commences at Amarah where life was peaceful and the troops engaged in duck-shooting. However, by the 25th September he was marching further on to Kut-al-Amarah where they set up camp. The enemy were forced to retreat to Zeur on 18th November. Gallup took part in the battle of Ctesiphon on 23 November and after much fighting, the 3 December saw the retreat back to Kut, where Gallup was confined to a Field Ambulance for a few days for 'chronic tummy ache'.
