Special Commissions (Dardanelles and Mesopotamia) Act 1916 : ウィキペディア英語版 | Special Commissions (Dardanelles and Mesopotamia) Act 1916
The Special Commissions (Dardanelles and Mesopotamia) Act 1916 (6 & 7 Geo. V) was set up to investigate the World War I operations in the Dardanelles Campaign and the Mesopotamian campaign. Following the disasters in Mesopotamia and the Dardanelles in 1916, the recently ousted British Prime Minister, H. H. Asquith, demanded a select committee to inquire into the relevant military campaigns. Instead the new Government appointed a statutory Special Commission, because ''a Government may…prefer to…appoint…an outside element...less likely to be influenced by party bias.''〔Anson, I, 400, op.cit 〕 The terms of the Act required that at least one naval and one military officer from the retired lists should serve on each Commission. ==Mesopotamia 1916-17== The Commission of Inquiry's remit was ''to inquire into the origins, inception and conduct of operations of war'' in Mesopotamia. The following were appointed *Lord George Hamilton; (Chairman) *Earl of Donoughmore *Lord Hugh Cecil *Archibald Williamson, 1st Baron Forres *J. Hodge *J.C. Wedgwood *Admiral Cyprian Bridge, (retired Naval) *General Rt. Hon. Sir Neville Gerald Lyttelton The Commission summonded over 100 witnesses. It was highly critical of many individuals and the administrative arrangements. *William Babtie, responsible for medical provision on the Mesopotamia front, was heavily criticised
