(a) The Centre will be located as may be most convenient, having regard to the collection of information and the discharge of its responsibilities to the GOC and AOC Iraq as defined below. It will be accommodated and locally administered under arrange- ments to be made by the Headquarters Royal Air Force in Iraq. The necessary cipher and other facilities required will be pro- vided by Army or RAF Headquarters as may be most convenient. (b) Under existing conditions it will be necessary to maintain a detachment of the Centre in southern Iraq, but as far as circum- stances allow the Head of the Centre should ensure that its activities and information are co-ordinated with those of the main Centre. This detachment will not issue separate summaries or appreciations, except in cases of urgency when it is necessary to avoid delay in informing local commanders, or on demand from them. 2. In general the Centre will act as an intelligence organization for the GOC and AOC in Iraq for all but operational intelligence matters, and will be responsible, under their direction, for executive tasks of an interservice nature, such as security, civil censorship, propaganda, and publicity. The area to be covered by the Centre will be that for which the GOC Iraq is responsible. © The Author(s) 2019 271 A. O’Sullivan, The Baghdad Set, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-15183-6 272 APPENDIX F: REVISED CHARTER OF THE COMBINED INTELLIGENCE CENTRE… 3. In detail, the tasks of the Centre will be: (a) to provide the GOC and AOC with collated political and secu- rity intelligence and such other natures of intelligence as they may require the Centre to deal with; (b) to co-operate, with the approval of the GOC and AOC, with the embassy publicity section in carrying out the general policy for propaganda as received in directives from the Jerusalem Bureau, or as ordered by the respective commanders in further- ance of local operations; (c) to take or arrange for executive action in connection with gen- eral security other than field security, and censorship other than field censorship; (d) to produce periodical intelligence summaries and appreciations, copies of which, in addition to local distribution, will be for- warded to C-in-C East Indies, GHQ India, GHQ Middle East, HQ RAF Middle East, MEIC, and the Jerusalem Bureau; (e) to maintain close liaison in intelligence matters with the British naval authorities in the Persian Gulf; (f) to afford all assistance to the local representative of MI6 and to distribute locally to all concerned information received from him. 4. The establishment of the Centre will include both Army and RAF personnel, and will be varied from time to time to meet the needs of the situation. It will include political advisers and assistant political advisers, who will work under the direct orders and control of HE The British Ambassador in Iraq, and area liaison officers who will work under the Head of the Centre. 5. The Centre will be provided with Secret Service funds by HMG in UK. Supervision over the expenditure will be exercised by GOC and AOC Iraq. Funds will be provided through the Jerusalem Bureau for the activities of the political advisers mentioned in paragraph 4.

  • The Foreign Policy of the Arab Gulf Monarchies from 1971 to 1990
    The Foreign Policy of the Arab Gulf Monarchies from 1971 to 1990 Submitted by René Rieger to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Middle East Politics in June 2013 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………… ………… 2 ABSTRACT This dissertation provides a comparative analysis of the foreign policies of the Arab Gulf monarchies during the period of 1971 to 1990, as examined through two case studies: (1) the Arab Gulf monarchies’ relations with Iran and Iraq and (2) the six states’ positions in the Arab-Israeli conflict. The dissertation argues that, in formulating their policies towards Iran and Iraq, the Arab Gulf monarchies aspired to realize four main objectives: external security and territorial integrity; domestic and regime stability; economic prosperity; and the attainment of a stable subregional balance of power without the emergence of Iran or Iraq as Gulf hegemon. Over the largest part of the period under review, the Arab Gulf monarchies managed to offset threats to these basic interests emanating from Iran and Iraq by alternately appeasing and balancing the source of the threat. The analysis reveals that the Arab Gulf monarchies’ individual bilateral relations with Iran and Iraq underwent considerable change over time and, particularly following the Iranian Revolution, displayed significant differences in comparison to one another.

It is a dramatic illustration of the potential for the Palestine issue to destabilize the Middle East, as well a "close save" in the somewhat neglected theater of the Middle East, which was understood by Churchill to have so much potential for disaster [1]. Iraq had been governed under a British supported regency, since the death of King Feysal in September 1933. Baqr Sidqi, a popular general, staged a coup in October 1936, but was himself assassinated in 1937. In December of 1938, another coup was launched by a group of power brokers known as "The Seven." Nuri al-Sa'id was named Prime Minister. The German Consul in Baghdad, Grobba, was apparently already active before the outbreak of World War II in September 1939, soliciting support for Germany and exploiting unrest. [2]. Though the Germans were not particularly serious about aiding a revolt perhaps, they would not be unhappy if it occurred. In March of 1940 , the "The Seven" forced Nuri al-Sa'id out of office.

At the outbreak of war, this formation was known as the Heavy Armoured Brigade, and was stationed in Egypt. It commenced under command of the Armoured Division (Egypt), which became the 7th Armoured Division, with the brigade adopting a black Jerboa as its formation sign, hence becoming known as the ‘Black Rats’. As an independent brigade, it served in Tunisia, Sicily and in Italy, before returning to the United Kingdom in January 1944. Brigadier (Temporary) John Cecil CURRIE, D.S.O.**, M.C., a highly decorated Regular Army officer in the Royal Horse Artillery, had assumed command of the brigade on 16 March 1944 (having commanded it on a previous occasion) and took it to France. The brigade landed in Normandy on 7 June 1944, under the command of I Corps. It came under the command of VIII Corps for the battle of The Oden between 25 June and 2 July and the battle for Caen between 4 and 18 July 1944.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 9995 / 0/ -hoZ2 d X Abstract This thesis addresses a neglected dimension of Greece under German and Italian occupation and on the eve of civil war. Its contribution to the historiography of the period stems from the fact that it constitutes the first academic study of the third largest resistance organisation in Greece, the 5/42 regiment of evzones. The study of this national resistance organisation can thus extend our knowledge of the Greek resistance effort, the political relations between the main resistance groups, the conditions that led to the civil war and the domestic relevance of British policies.
