A Story of War

I recently came across a semi-official hand written record of the Iraq Rebellion of May 1941, in the possession of the son of Dan Cremin, my father’s flying instructor and subsequently commanding officer of ‘C’ squadron. The record was written largely by Allan Haig, with several entries by my father. Evidently as the squadron ‘juniors’ they had been given the task by Cremin of recording the battle.
