How Britain polices Iraq.
While the problem of Mosul remains to cloud the political horizon of the Near East, it is interesting to note the resources of Britain at present in use for policing Iraq.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the British policing of Iraq during the early 20th century. The image showcases a Vickers Vernon troop carrying aeroplane stationed at Bagdad, revealing the impressive resources employed by Britain for this purpose. The aircraft itself is truly remarkable, capable of transporting 20 fully armed troops equipped with machine guns. Its range is equally astounding, as it can cover the vast distance from Bagdad to the Brussels line in just one flight. This highlights Britain's commitment to maintaining control and order in Iraq amidst the ongoing challenges posed by Mosul. Taken on September 29,1925, this monochrome photograph offers us a glimpse into an era between wars when Europe was grappling with political uncertainties. It serves as a testament to Britain's influence and involvement in shaping the fate of nations far beyond its borders. Preserved by Central News and now made available through TopFoto, this historical artifact provides valuable insights into how global powers navigated complex geopolitical landscapes nearly a century ago. As we reflect upon this image today, it prompts us to contemplate both the consequences and responsibilities that come with such interventions while acknowledging their lasting impact on regions like Iraq.
