will have money enough to support himself in idleness for a
considerable time, a very promising field for the spread of Anti-

These publications contain wartime, and post-war intelligence obtained by British sources.

  • Sketch map prepared from RNAS photographs and reconnaissance by HMS City of Oxford of Wadi A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows. Mur February to March 1918 : folio 170.
  • Sketch map of Hejaz (1919): folio 317.
  • Tribal sketch map of the Hadhramaut ‘showing only tribes of fighting value’: folios 333v.
