Wallace Lyon (1892-1977) was an administrator in Iraq from 1918 to 1944.
After service in France, Lyon had been an officer with the 52nd Sikh Frontier Force, sent to Iraq in 1917. He spent most of his twenty six years in the Kurdistan Region of Northern Iraq, eventually serving as a Land Settlement Officer. [1] [2]
After the attempted revolution of 1941 in Iraq, Lyon was appointed a Political Advisor with the British Army, remaining until 1944.
Lyon then entered the Consular Service, retiring in 1949 as Consul in Harar, Ethiopia. He completed his memoirs in 1964 and died in 1977. These memoirs were eventually edited by his son-in-law D.K. Fieldhouse and published by IB Tauris in 2001 as ‘Kurds, Arabs and Britons’ [3]
