This may be my last post for a while.. I’m going to spend a month going between Akaba and Cairo, providing liaison between the British and Arabs HQ’s. They just all want me🙈. Proud to be serving, but I feel like I made good friends on here. 🥺♥️👯♂️💅🏽@AlisonDawes1#kowwi20
Decided to spend the winter at Azrak to spread propaganda for the rebellion among the northern tribes. NOW I have to make a reconnaissance of the country around the Turkish railway junction at Deraa. Going to have to go into town in disguise😶😏 @AlisonDawes1#kowwi20
Just spent some time at GHQ and Akaba, guess what I was doing there? Nothing much just planning a raid against railway bridges in the Yarmuk valley. LOL you all better keep this a secret. On the way back to the rebel base at Azrak, can’t wait to get started @AlisonDawes1#kowwi20
Just took part in battles at Fuweila and Aba el Lissan. I immediately crossed the Sinai to Suez to carry the news to the British.. like the BRAVE soldier I am🤗. What would the Arab Army be without me?? ❌🥴@AlisonDawes1#kowwi20
Was just prompted to a liaison to the Arab forces, along with other British officers. I am beginning to really identify with the culture here in Arabia, wonder how long I’ll stay here for😯. @AlisonDawes1#kowwi20
The Arab Revolt is beginning and I think it’s time I undertake dangerous missions inside enemy territory in Arabia. This one is for you, brothers👼🏼. Watch over me in this one♥️ @AlisonDawes1#kowwi20
@aubreyherbert and I have been sent on a SECRET (you all better keep it a secret) mission to the Turkish Headquarters outside Kut in Mesopotamia. We’re trying to release the Townshend’s army, wish us luck.. secretly😏. Gonna check out the potential for an Arab rebellion here😜
Rest In Peace to my two brothers, Will and Frank, they died fighting on the Western front of this war in Europe. PLEASE help keep the peace, for my brothers. I feel bad staying in a safe place while they just sacrificed their life, maybe it’s my turn🙏🏻🤔. @AlisonDawes1#kowwi20
Austria, I’d be careful. Serbia has warm friends in the Russian people and Russia has an ally, France there are plenty of complications to to be feared. An ultimatum isn’t smart. Heard an ultimatum by Austria to Serbia should be delivered on July 23 in Belgrade @AlisonDawes1
Just heard that a retired Austrian diplomat had been invited to sit in on Ba secret discussions broke the news to the British ambassador in Vienna that Austria-Hungary was going to issue and ultimatum to Serbia with German backing.. oof😬 #july15@AlisonDawes1#kowwi20
A little diplomat birdie just informed me that rumors amongst diplomats are discussing that Austria has something up their sleeve. The Viennase government is trying hard to keep their plans a secret.. we’ll see how long that lasts for😳😝😏@AlisonDawes1#Kowwi20
Never would have thought the assassination of the Archduke would have significance. After all, things like this happened in the Balkans. The Serbians had murdered their own king and queen. The summer of 1914 in Europe seemed to be going through a calm after the turbulent years.
Wrapping up my time working for the British Museum on archaeological excavations😭. Things are heating up between Austria-Hungary and I think it might by high time to serve my country too. Is British intelligence in my future? We shall see. 😏👀 #kowwi20
A political ideology such as nationalism ruins countries, that’s why I have love for Arabia, not my own home country#jk.Austria-Hungary has just declared war on Serbia. Austria-Hungary better have a strong army because Serbia has 360,000 men. Enough to resist offense😈👋🏼#kowwi20
The man who is accused of assassinating the archduke is only nineteen years old!? Come on man! Get your life together. At nineteen I was in another round of college on a scholarship and here you are assassinating people? Too many nationalistic ideas running around.. #kowwi20
