Map of secretly allocated troops of the ‘Armée Française du Levant’ [French Army in the East]. The map shows the Syrian Desert region encompassing the territory from the west of Baghdad to Syrian border. The map has been drawn by the ‘Bureau Topographique de l’Armée Française du Levant’ (Topographic Office of French Army in the East) and it is the eleventh of a series of 12 maps (according with the scheme placed on map n. 12 of Route map series) concerning the position of the battalions of the ‘Armée Française du Levant’ on the 7th of December 1924 within the territory of French Mandate of Syria and Lebanon as it is possible to read on the present map: ‘Secret Stationnement des Troupes de Armée du Levant à la date du 7 Décembre 1924’.

On the backside there is a part of a canceled (‘Annulé’) map of Franconia (Germany) likely dated back to World War I.
