Own Writings on the Overland Mail Baghdad-Haifa

Over the years i have written and published quite a number of articles on the aspect of the Overland Mail. While my overall writings are listed on the Main Page of my Home Page, i found it necessary to have one page with the articles related to the Overland Mail Baghdad-Haifa on the respective pages.

Some of my articles are in German language which is my mother tongue, others are in English language as this website here. I may even try to upload my own articles for free downlad.
