British Empire Intervention in the Central Powers During World War I and Its Aftermath

Introduction

This web page contains links to the content of the exhibit pages for the exhibit 'British Empire Intervention in the Central Powers During World War I and Its Aftermath' by Al Kugel.

This exhibit is a special study that examines postal activity during the British military intervention in the enemy countries from 1915 to 1935. It is divided into two distinct sections: the Ottoman Empire and the other enemy countries. Only in the former were territories actually occupied during the war, starting with an expedition into Lower Mesopotamia. This was followed by a push up the Tigris River and eventually into Kurdistan, thus completing the British possession of what is Iraq today. The other activities covered here include the unsuccessful invasion of the Dardanelles in 1915-1916 as well as the successful move from Egypt into Southern Palestine in 1917. This campaign led to occupation of that entire province, as well as an advance into Transjordan, Syria, Lebanon and Cilicia at the end of the war. British troops also occupied Constantinople and other strategic areas along the straits between Europe and Asia at the end of 1918.

This exhibit was created by, and is the property of the late Al Kugel, and is being supplied by his heirs as a courtesy to the Military Postal History Society.
