Subjects covered in this file include the security of records concerning Allied deception operations; the use of carrier pigeons in a future war; the collection and preservation of German and Austrian archives; the establishment of Joint Intelligence Bureaux in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth; security measures concerning foreign attachés in the U.K.; information sharing with France; the declassification of wartime code words; mutiny in the Indian armed forces; and the security of British missions abroad following the detection of eavesdropping devices in a British office in Moscow.
