Note

This paper gives an account of the civil administration of
Mesopotamia during the British military occupation,
that is to say, down to the summer of the present year,
when, a Mandate for Mesopotamia having been accepted by
Great Britain, steps were being taken for the early
establishment of an Arab Government.

His Majesty's Government called for a report
on this difficult period from the
Acting Civil Commissioner,
who entrusted the preparation of it to
Miss Gertrude L. Bell, C.B.E.
