The Territorial Battalions in India generally experienced a movement of personnel, as drafts were provided for Regiments in Mesopotamia, and men transferred to specialist services. The Battalions in India in turn received drafts from Britain. As an example, 1/5th Battalion Somerset Light Infantry lost nearly half its original personnel in 2½ years in India. <ref>Page 96,''The History of the Somerset Light Infantry (Prince Albert’s) 1914-1919'' by Everard Wyrall 1927.</ref> Wounded and other ill soldiers from Mesopotamia were returned to India for treatment and convalescence.
