A newspaper article published soon afterwards described it thus:
“The determined stand of the Worcestershire Yeomanry at Qatia, ranks as one of the most stirring of the minor episodes of the war. Attacked by an overwhelming Turkish force, while holding a desert oasis, the Yeomen fought, as they fell back, a desperate rearguard action with a magnificent valour worthy of the higher traditions of the British Army.”
Every year the The Queen’s Own Warwickshire and Worcestershire Yeomanry Comrades Association, gather at Worcester Cathedral to commemorate Qatia Day.
This year, with COVID-19 being what it is, I felt we needed to keep the remembrance - so I made this:
We will remember them
