==First World War==Regimental history: ''War Records of the 24th Punjabis 1914-20: 4th Battalion 14th Punjab Regiment'' by A. B. Haig, previously Commanding Officer of the Regiment. First published 1934. The regiment fought in the [[Mesopotamia Campaign|campaign in Mesopotamia]] (today’s Iraq) from April 1915. It took part in the battle of Shaiba, the advance to Ctesiphon, and the retreat to Kut-al-Amara that followed. The 24th was effectively destroyed in the subsequent siege. The survivors were compelled to surrender when General Sir Charles Townshend capitulated in April 1916 and subsequently suffered greatly in [[Prisoners of the Turks (First World War)|Turkish captivity]]. The Regiment was subsequently reformed with new personnel and again served in Mesopotamia – and later in [[Salonika]], [[Norperforce|south Russia and Anatolia]] between 1917 and 1920.<ref>[https://www.naval-military-press.com/product/war-records-of-the-24th-punjabis-1914-204th-battalion-14th-punjab-regiment/ ''War Records of the 24th Punjabis 1914-20: 4th Battalion 14th Punjab Regiment''] by A.
