Sir Arnold Talbot Wilson KCIE CSI CMG DSO (18 July 1884 - 31 May 1940) was the British civil commissioner in Baghdad in 1918-20. Wilson served under Percy Cox, the colonial administrator of Mesopotamia (Mandatory Iraq) during and after World War I, including the Iraqi revolt against the British in 1920. In 1933 Wilson was elected in a by-election as the Conservative MP for Hitchin. He described himself as a 'left-wing radical Tory'. Wilson published his travelling and political diaries as the Walks and Talks series with the Right Book Club. Like his half-sister Mona Wilson, Wilson published extensively on what he termed 'left wing' issues such as workmen's compensation, the costs of funerals, industrial assurance, and old age pensions. These researches arguably influenced related postwar policies. Before the Second World War his outspoken views on foreign policy evoked much criticism. Wilson was the third Member of Parliament to die in action in World War II. He was killed while serving as an aircrew member at the advanced age of 55. Wilson was immortalized as Sir George Corbett in the 1942 Powell and Pressburger movie One of Our Aircraft is Missing. In October 1939 after the outbreak of the war, Wilson joined the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, serving as a pilot officer (air gunner) in 37 Squadron of RAF Bomber Command. He stated that "I have no desire to shelter myself and live in safety behind the ramparts of the bodies of millions of our young men." Still an MP, he was killed in northern France, near Dunkirk, on 31 May 1940. The author believed that England should be chary of investing further sums abroad, and that the country should concentrate on restoring its own countryside and developing its own colonies, in preference to exporting what remains of England's wealth to aid in the development of other lands by men of other races. His instinct and experience has led him, in some measure, to the Right abroad and to the Left at home. Justice demands that the relative difference between various categories of the population should be smaller. Stated First Published in 1929. Presumed First Printing.…
