- Title:
- File 705/1916 Pt 1-2 Arab Revolt
- Scope & Content:
-
This file contains papers that pertain to various military and intelligence fields of operation during 1916, specifically relating to the First World War in the region of Hejaz and the broader Arabian peninsula. The bulk of the file is comprised of reports on various military, intelligence, and propaganda issues variously called 'the Arab report' or 'Arabian Report'. The file also contains reports on the massacre and forced migration of Armenians during the War, as well as intelligence gathering efforts by British officials on Indian Muslim political mobilisation in support of an independent Arab Kingdom in the Hejaz or the Ottoman Empire, often described as 'Pan-Islamist' in the file.
Most of the correspondence relating to Pan-Islamist political mobilisation is conducted through the transmission and translation of newspaper articles in Iraqi, Egyptian, Indian, Syrian, and other Arab publications.
