- Ext 3892/41 'Lt. Col. F.M. Bailey.'
- Scope & Content:
-
The file contains correspondence between Lieutenant-Colonel Frederick Marshman Bailey, the India Office and the Foreign Office, regarding the proposed publication of Bailey's account of his personal experiences as an intelligence officer in Turkestan in 1918-1920, the approval for which is ultimately denied on the grounds that it would be inadvisable at that time to publish a book which held the early Bolshevik regime up to ridicule.
The file also contains a request from Bailey, accompanied by his curriculum vitae, that he might be considered again for intelligence work following the military alliance between the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union.
A list of correspondence references contained in the file by year appears on the front cover.
