There is a book that might give you some background information.

INLAND WATER TRANSPORT IN MESOPOTAMIA

Thanks for that, yet another book to add to my database of material awaiting consultation and reading.

I am sure when I first looked around for information that either the Royal Engineers Museum or Association was planning a CD of back copies of a RE journal.  I EMailed for information and never got a reply, just looked on the websites and can't find any mention of it now.

Thanks for that. I knew she would be in the 81 somewhere, it just was not that important or urgent, however it just adds that little bit more to the research.
I have so much to research at Kew, now plus a bit more, looks like a London holiday is coming up.

It's definitely him in WO 339/13585.
I've now had a chance to cross-check with WO 338 and the entry has:

Grote / Arthur LLoyd / RE (IWT) / Capt / Dead

First post bear with me.
Grandfather J Deane #133995 Enlisted Liverpool 11/1915. We have a photo taken by E & E Pickering of Petersfiels and surmise he did basic training nearby(?) He shipped out to Corfu in 1916, returned to UK. Then was then attached toi the British Mission with the King of Serbia and apparently severd in Mesopotamia Also gained Distinguished Medal from same, which was awarded in 1916, but docuiment, -the scruffiest hand writtin docuiment from any government ever- is dated 1921.
Anyone any idea of the basic camp he might have been posted to?
Also have some info on ships that carried him out & back.
