- Abstract: This file contains the text of Lieutenant-General Sir Frederick Stanley Maude's proclamation in Baghdad on the occasion of the British occupation in March 1917. This proclamation was issued following the 'Fall of Baghdad', a decisive victory for the British during the Mesopotamian Campaign. Maude largely focuses on the various parties (in particular the Turks [Ottomans]) who have previously been involved with the oppression and division of the area and assures the people of Baghdad that the British Government only seeks to improve their situation.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence for this description commences at f 122, and terminates at f 122, as it is part of a larger physical volume; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
