Sources

(PHILBY)

In 1971 the soviet press carried a number of articles in which former British Intelligence Agent Kim Philby named a number of MI6 officers, principally those who had served in Beirut and the Middle East in the 1950s and 60’s.

Izvestiya (2.10.71) and Koduma (13. 10.71), (courtesy of the FBI).

A number of officers, mainly wartime, were also named in Philby’s book My Silent War and in the various biographies written following his defection.

(GCHQ)

Government Communications Headquarters. Operatives of GCHQ are named in the early editions of the Diplomatic List. Increasingly they are hidden, though they can be traced by reference to GCHQ outposts like Darwin (Australia). Also known as the ‘Government Code and Cypher School’ (GCCS)

(BF)

British Intelligence and Covert Action, Jonathan Bloch and Patrick Fitzgerald (Brandon 1983), contains an appendix which lists ‘certain civil servants who have held official posts overseas since 1945’. The main text also contains the names of a number of intelligence personnel.

(WEST – W)

‘Nigel West’, Rupert Allason, has written a number of books on British Intelligence which have been extremely useful for this project.

(CP)

Chapman Pincher. Inside Out, Their Trade is Treachery, Too Secret, Too Long. Careful with names but they are there.

(F)

French writer, Roger Faligot. There is some debate about Faligot’s reliability on ‘names’, but on the whole they appear to check out.

(WYNNE TRIAL)

At the trial of British Intelligence asset Greville Wynne, Moscow 1963, the prosecution named a number of MI6 officers. Wynne, who worked with MI5 during the war, was the principal contact with Oleg Penkovsky.

(Beth)

Nicholas Bethel. The Great Betrayal (London 1984). MI6 Officers involved in operations against Albania and around the Mediterranean.

(IRD)

‘Information Research Department’. Usually listed for major posts. Later transformed into the ‘Overseas Information Dept’ (OID) and, later still, the plain ‘Information Dept’.

(C)

Controversial. (Ex) Intelligence Officers named from a study of the career biography.
