Messrs. George Philip have published two excellent maps to illustrate

our two Eastern campaigns. One is a Strategical Map of Mesopotamia and Asia Minor (2s. 6d. net) on a scale of forty- eight miles to an inch ; the other is a Strategical Map of Palestine, Syria, and Sinai (2s. 6d. net) on a scale of twelve miles to an inch. Both are very well printed and coloured, and contain a large number of place-names. The small-scale map of Mesopotamia illustrates clearly the connexion between the campaign in Palestine and the campaign on the Tigris, and the immense distances that still separate our two armies.
