| Title: | Overseas Joint Intelligence Groups: Fragmentary Records |
| Description: |
Many overseas service command- or theatre-based joint intelligence groups on the pattern of the UK JIC were established during the second world war, and during the years following it while the UK continued to act as a global colonial and military power. Some of these groups were led by or included representation from the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. This series comprises surviving fragments of the material copied by some of these overseas groups to the Cabinet Office Joint Intelligence Secretariat. |

| Selection and destruction information: | Most of the material received within the Cabinet Office would routinely have been copied on or re-issued to other intelligence clients, and retained by Cabinet Office only until superseded by more up-to-date material. Why these fragments were kept by Cabinet Office is no longer known, but they have been selected for preservation because they give an insight in to the handling of joint intelligence issues by UK government representatives overseas, and/or they may fill some gaps in the records of the services overseas commands. Acquisition Policy paragraph 2.2.1.3 applies. |
