A propos de cet article

Pale green card staple-bound wraps 11x15cm, illustrated to the front with map to the back. 46pp including 2 full-page maps, (2)pp adverts, with additional adverts inside wraps. Wraps very good with tear around the staple. Interiors very good, tanned, with some marks, creasing to a few corners, and closed tear to p23/4. This was prepared and published by the Welfare Committee of the Persia and Iraq Force (PAIForce) General HQ; undated, but Paiforce was approved in August 1942, and its GHQ established in Baghdad in September. It opens with Seton Lloyd's potted history "The Story of Iraq" (reprinted from "Maps of Iraq with Notes for Visitors", 1929). Most of it however contains practical advice covering the SSAFA (Soldier's, Sailor's and Airmen's Families Association), legal aid, clubs and hostels (in Baghdad, Ashar, Shueiba, Hillah, Musaiyib, Margil, Mosul, and Kirkuk), education (PAIForce's Army Education Corps aiming to develop interests servicemen hope to pursue in civilian life), sport (by "Commentator" at the Iraq Times), tours by the Baghdad YMCA, advice on writing home, music, PAIForce paper "Trunk Call", NAAFI (Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes), entertainment, churches (in Iraq and Bahrain), currency, and health. The 3 maps include Places of Interest in Iraq, Baghdad and Environs, and Baghdad Amenities Area. The latter shows 27 locations along both sides of the Tigris bounded by the King Faisal Statue (NW) and YMCA (SE). The adverts feature several well known local hotels and suppliers. Extremely rare institutionally, unrecorded on Worldcat and Library Hub. …
