EDITORS COMMENTS
A Merry Christmas from the 512 Field Survey Company, M.E.F. (Middle Eastern Force) - Serving The Middle East, 1945. This evocative Christmas postcard, featuring the badges and flags of the various regions and allied forces covered by the 512 Field Survey Company during their service in the Middle East during World War II, offers a unique glimpse into the complex geopolitical landscape of the time. The 512 Field Survey Company, comprised of surveyors, cartographers, and other mapping specialists, played a crucial role in providing accurate and up-to-date information to support military operations in the region. The company's area of responsibility spanned from Egypt and Palestine in the west to Sudan in the south, and included the British Tripolitania, Cyrenaica, and the Levant in North Africa, as well as the Persian Gulf, Iraq, and the Dodecanese Islands in the east. The badges of these regions and allied forces are proudly displayed on the postcard, including those of BTE (British Troops in Egypt), PAIC (Persia and Iraq Command), and GHQ (General Headquarters). The 512 Field Survey Company's work was essential to the success of the Allied forces in the Middle East, contributing to the planning and execution of military campaigns in the region. As the year drew to a close and the troops prepared for the holidays, this Christmas postcard served as a reminder of the diverse and far-reaching nature of their mission. The postcard's message reads, "Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year," a sentiment no doubt shared by the men and women of the 512 Field Survey Company as they continued their vital work in the Middle East.
