Should probably use this pic of Hackett in Jordanian uniform (from 1939) He is the guy on the right:

Some interesting pictures of Jordanians here. You have to scroll right to see the pics. There is a pic of Glubb Pasha's post war second-in-command General Abdul Kader Al-Jundi and several other Arab Legion officers.

I knew something like that could happen. It's my fault for mailing 8mb of info in one shot
Ok, I'll send them again tomorrow.
A very simple question where are the pics?
I downloaded only yesterday the new patch and then I checked the italian leaders. There many blank leaders (i.e. not with the cross but like minor leader unknow).
I checked the leaderfile but there they should have the pics.
I post like exemple some leader attributes.
Amico Antonelli Armellini Asinari don't have the pics even if they should

Frodon? You an army colonel then?
Re: Re: But what we need
Frodon you are invaluable Not only lots of goodie Arab officers in one swift move you also found two of the missing british genrals(one I thougt I never would get hold on btw.)but you also found 3 of the missing Iraqis.... Splendid
Trouble with Hackett though is that he is in the British file already,but I guess we can place him in Arabia as well (since we don't have a Transjordania.
3 of the pics (The Hackett one and two others has been sent immediately to Israel for further ID of the people on the pic.(I have a friend who actually works in the Israeli Army.)This could help us further...and I'm almost 100% sure that you by accident has found Peake too.... That has gone to israel too...You know I searched and searched for Peake and did not find anything except pics of his residence....
and both Peake and Pasha went to Iraq btw.(in our files)

No he isn't....he means he made it to colonel in messages,just as I made it to Lord of the Leaders....
.In fact I think I'm the only one among us (maurfal apart) who has a pre history in the armed forces...(Navy for my part) (well obviously there's a lot who has done their military service...)
Yes this is the right place and as you can see I have just asked Vulture about this.I have sent you a mail though, to the tiscali address....just tell me which pics are missing and you will get them from me maurfal.
SOVIET Politicians
Before I'm going to do the last Soviet file.I will post a little list of Russian politician I have pics of.It was my intention to send these to Tannu Tavu and Mongolia as helpers.... But I would need to know if they were all alive in 1936
Ivan Michailovich Maiskey
Ladislaff Polic
Marcel Rosenberg (I think he had walked the line by then)
Mikhailovna Kollotay
Miroslav J. Spalaikovitch
Valerie Mejlauk
Vladimir Potemkine (probably Potemkin instead)
Vladimir Sokoline

Re: SOVIET Politicians
Ivan Maisky (which I think is the correct spelling) was the USSR ambassador to Britain during WW2 so he was very much alive.
Alexandra Mihailovna Kollontay died in the early fifties. Think she is a bit to famous to be lent to Tannu Tuva or Mongolia. Lenin sent her to Norway as the worlds first female ambassador. Think she was ambassador to Sweden in ww2...
Marcel Rosenberg died in 1937. IIRC he was ambassador in Spain during the beginning of the civil war. Not sure if he was purged or died of natural causes...

No, just a Paradox Messageboard colonel
My military career was very short and not exactly glorious
Re: Re: Re: But what we need
Hope you are right. I've searched for Peake for quite some time now. What bothers me is that I borrowed one of Glubb Pashas books at my local library many years ago. There were probably pictures of half the arab legion inside it. But the library has thrown it away so it's no longer available

Re: Re: SOVIET Politicians
Ok, so for the people I've never heard about.
Vladimir Potemkin is mentioned on this page:
http://www.itcnet.ro/history/archive/mi1998/current9/mi46.htm
Unfortunately I don't speak romanian. But he seems to have been working with foreign affairs in 1939.
Did you get him from this page?:
www.indiana.edu/~league/councilsess93.htm
Looks like he was Molotovs deputy foreign minister.
Don't Spalaikovich was russian. He was a delegate for Serbia-Croatia-Slovenia (aka Yugoslavia) in the twenties
Found him in this turkish foreign department site. Could probably find more interesting info there. Lot's of old treaties etc
http://www.mfa.gov.tr/grupe/ed/eda/edaa/Lozan.htm
Have a feeling that Polic also could be a yugo.

Re: Re: SOVIET Politicians
Okay so Maisky,Kollontay and Rosenberg are in....about Rosenberg..You bet he was purged(I know that...there has been written a lot about that,but I had no idea when he was purged.Stalin considered him a BIG threat as he was one of the original revolutionaries..... and ahhh Kollontay has to start her illustrious career somewhere......

Re: Re: Re: Re: But what we need
Shame Shame Shame on the Library..this is an affair for the Home Office...
Peake can easily be the one I spotted in the background site on one of the Abdullah pictures...that is the one I've sent anyway.(will be difficult to make something out of that though)

Re: Re: Re: SOVIET Politicians
Yep I told you I cleaned that site for politicians..... But the spelling on that site is a MAJOR problem,and so is the actually listing of where those people came from...I found a Dane listed as SWEDISH ... so Spalaikovich is most certaily Serbian and probably Polic too,they will be moved to Yugoslavia.
And just for your curiosity.Potemkin was made Foreign Minister for External Affairs in 1939 the Romanian site says.He strongly adviced the expulsion of von Tippelskirch and 14 other diplomats.And he strongly adviced that the German minority "was resettled elsewhere" /killed that means I guess..His career howeve was short he was sacked by Litvinov in the same year but he is in and since he apparently did not have love of the high and mighty I would say that Mongolia or Tannu Tavu would be the prefect spot for him...

Uglyduck was the veteran par excellence... He never really talked about it. He didn't really want to and he wasn't allowed... I guess he has been part of the more secret parts of the army

why was the veteran?...not that I actually speak a lot about that time either(only when I have to make a joke....
Did you get Bolivia btw. and Generallisimo didn't really like Argentina instead he sent me his private version,and then I asked for all the stuff in that in singles so I have just played around with that and made a new one which now has been sent to Argentine for approval...
so expect a much better version (selpromoting now... and then I'd better get back to the generals and politicians....(this was actually fun doing again)
