Plan of the Operations against Bushire, 1857. Creator: Unknown

Plan of the Operations against Bushire, 1857. Map showing Persian Gulf, tableland, sandy ravines, swampy marsh, Halilah Bay, Bay of Bushire...[letter from an officer of the Royal Navy fleet:] I have just time to send you a few lines describing the march of the army from Halillah Bay to this place. Shortly after the boats had cleared away the enemy from the date groves, near the place selected for the disembarkation, the 64th Regiment, portions of the 2nd Europeans, 4th Rifles, and 20th Native Infantry, landed on the 7th safely, and myself amongst them. I immediately set out in search of the ?wells, and was delighted to find that they were within the position taken up by the troops...six guns were landed, with their full complement of horses, and the force was put in motion towards a very large date grove, about two miles from the beach, where the men were tolerably well sheltered...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857
