Wagner Jr. Collection of Fine Eastern Weapons, 2014, p.98, fig.5-28 Lt. Col. John Angus Hume O.B.E. (1914-2005) was commissioned into the Somerset Light Infantry in 1941 and went to Syria the following year as a representative of the Army deployed to discourage any German advance through the Caucasus to the Middle East. Hume, an acting Captain, was based at Hannah in northern Syria working with the cereals procurement agency under the head of the British Mission to Syria and the Lebanon, Major-General Sir Edward Spears. Hume negotiated grain contracts in an area comprising 500 villages with local customs dating from the Ottoman era for the collection, storage and disposal of produce. Only by gradually winning the confidence of local mukhtars, and convincing them that they were receiving fair payment, was he able to ensure the quotas required to provide for the armies in the Middle East, as well as for the local population.
