PAIFORCE THE STORY OF THE RUSSIAN LIFT
London, January 28, - -- The story of "Paiforce"—the little publicised group of British troops in Persia and Iraq during the war-was published last night by the War Of- fice.
The report tells how the hastily formed force of sol- diers, engineers and dockmeri opened a 1,000- mile route from Bosra that enabled 5,000,000 tons of war supplies to go to Russia.
After Greece had been over- run by the Germans in April 1941, a German-sponsored re- bellion in Iraq made it clear where the next threat lay, the official story says.
