PALESTINE – G.H.Q. M.E.F. Weekly Military Intelligence Review. [Jerusalem:] General Headquarters Palestine, May-December 1946.
Secret British military intelligence briefings on the political and military state of the Middle East issued in post-war Palestine. The geographical range covered is vast, from Libya in north Africa to Iran in the east, by way of Greece, Yugoslavia, and sometimes as far north as Romania. The Review carries both general over-views on such topics as post-war Berlin, as well as more detailed reports on searches of Jewish settlements in Palestine, and left-wing bandit attacks in Greece. Of particular contemporary resonance are discussions on the political make-up of Syria, ‘The Autonomous Kurdish Republic,’ and Iraqi treaty revisions with Britain and the impact on Anglo- Persian oilfields. The maps are supplied by 512 Field Survey Company, Royal Engineers, and include one of major terrorist incidents in Palestine. Three appendices give details of military incidents in the period of the rebellion involving ambushes on British convoys and an Air Force attack against the rebels. Very rare: despite the imprint indicating a print run of 400 copies, none can be traced on WorldCat.
12 volumes, folio (345 x 210mm), issues 59, 62, 63, 66, 68-71, 80, 81, 87, 91. Cyclostyled typescript reports, coloured folding maps, one photograph of a discovered Jewish arms cache (a few leaves starting to be loose). Original printed stapled wrappers (staples rusted, some rust marks from paper clips. Provenance: Assistant Director of Medical Services, 3rd Division (stamps on a few covers).
