[Iraq - Photo Album, 1920s]. Album of an RAF serviceman's snapshots. Baghdad, Hinaidi, Diala, Mosul, 1924-1925.
Collection of snapshots documenting the RAF presence in Baghdad during the British Mandate of Mesopotamia. The mandate, established by the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire at the Treaty of Sevres in 1920 and much resented by Iraqi nationalists, followed months of uprisings and heavy fighting quelled by the Royal Air Force, led to the installation of Faisal I as the first King of Iraq in 1921. On 1 October 1922 the Royal Air Force in Iraq was reorganized as RAF Iraq Command, which was given control of all British forces in the kingdom. - The present album shows 1920s British aircraft (Sopwith Snipe, de Havilland DH.50, Nieuport Nighthawk, etc.), a camel train ("Ships of the Desert"), native farmers, Iraqi Police, the River Tigris, street life in Baghdad (Bridge Street, River Street, "The Strand"), a local butcher and blacksmith, portraits of fellow RAF servicemen, etc. - Front pastedown bears the laid-down winged RAF crest with the motto "Per Ardua Ad Astra".
