Before World War I Britain, then the global 'superpower' was struggling to retain her colonial possessions. When war broke out it became even more vital to obtain up-to-the-minute intelligence, so Britain's Diplomatic Corps joined forces with the Admiralty and the War Office to create the Special Foreign Intelligence Bureau- later to evolve as MI6. Tasked with securing the loyalty of regional factions, and damping down the fires of Muslim resurgence, intrepid young adventurers, enthused by the tales of G. A. Henty and John Buchan, were despatched to gather information from the remotest parts of the empire.
