Weldon, L. B.

Weldon was mapping the deserts of Egypt when war broke out. Working from out of a steam yacht based on Port Said or Famagusta, he ran a network of spies and confidential agents onto the Levant coast behind Turkish lines. He was a fluent Arabic speaker and could conduct personal interviews on the shore, as well as landing and taking off agents – all conveyed by small boats through the surf under the cover of night. This vivid tale of adventure becomes eyewitness history
