Gocol
Gocol was a flying column created by the British Army shortly after the Anglo–Iraqi War had ended. ==Creation and composition== ''Gocol'' was a truck-borne flying column created in early June 1941 specifically to pursue and capture Dr. Fritz Grobba, the German Ambassador to the Kingdom of Iraq. Grobba was on the run after the collapse of the pro-German Rashid Ali government and was attempting to flee Iraq and get to Nazi occupied Europe.〔Lyman, p. 86〕 In addition to ''Gocol'', two other columns were created in early July. ''Mercol'', commanded by Major E. J. H. Merry, with the task of rounding up irregular troops under Fawzi al-Qawuqji〔Lyman, p. 87〕 and ''Harcol'', under Major R. J. Hardy, with the task of securing Kirkuk.〔Lyman, p. 88〕 ''Gocol'' was named for its commander, Major R. E. S. Gooch. The column comprised B Squadron of the Household Cavalry Regiment, six Royal Air Force armoured cars, two 3.7 inch howitzers, and Royal Army Service Corps (RASC) transport.〔Lyman, p. 86〕
