| After seeing his fellow Paratroop squad soldiers brutally killed by |
| Germans in enemy-occupied Holland - and being shot himself and left to |
| die - Lieutenant Ralph Loach was a man determined to settle the score. |
| Newly transferred to war-battered Berlin with the Intelligence |
| Corps, could Ralph put aside his quest for revenge long enough to let |
| him help his new colleagues find the sadistic S.S. officer responsible? |
| Introduction |
| |
| Intelligence. The word conjures up a mental picture |
| of fast cars, snappy dressing and the latest gadgets. The reality is |
| somewhat different and military intelligence, far from being a |
| contradiction in terms, can trace its roots to biblical times when |
| Moses was told "go spy the land" (Numbers 13:17). |
| |
| Prior to the Boer War the British Army tended to form ad hoc |
| intelligence organisations during campaigns in order to provide the |
| commander with the necessary information and intelligence to defeat our |
| enemies. After each campaign the military intelligence organisations |
| were disbanded. |
| |
| Steps were taken to raise an Intelligence Corps on the outbreak of the |
| First World War. Following the expiry of the British ultimatum to the |
| Germans on 5th August 1914 some fifty or so individuals received a |
| telegram inviting them to join the newly formed Intelligence Corps. |
| Former metropolitan Police Officers operated, as field security |
| police, to great effort behind our own lines identifying enemy agents, |
| capturing mutineers and protecting the Royal Family. Despite the good |
| work by members of the Corps, by 1929 the whole of the Intelligence |
| Corps was disbanded. |
| |
| On the outbreak of war on 04 September 1939 the British Expeditionary |
| Force deployed to France with 31 Field Security Police Sections and |
| upon this small foundation the Corps eventually grew to 3040 officers |
| and 5930 other ranks. The Corps was formally constituted with the |
| consent of King George VI on 15 July 1940, with the formation being |
| notified on 19 July 1940 in Army Order 112. |
| |
| Post war the threat was from Communism and the Corps has played a |
| major role in the games of counterespionage, intelligence and |
| counter-intelligence that characterised the Cold War in Europe and Asia |
| in the latter half of the twentieth century. |
| |
| Since the Second World War, the Corps has deployed with the British |
| Amy all over the world and in recognition of its meritorious service |
| the Corps was declared an 'Arm' on 01 February 1985. An 'Arm' is |
| defined as those Corps whose role is to be close in combat with the |
| enemy. |
| |
| The Intelligence Corps, to fans and detractors alike is known as the |
| Green Slime due to the distinctive colour of its beret. It has always |
| attracted unique soldiers in terms of temperament, character and |
| demeanour; in the Intelligence Corps today you are likely to meet |
| soldiers with advanced degrees. |
