In February 1944 Bawden accompanied the Middle East Anti-Locust Unit on an expedition across Saudi Arabia from the Red Sea to the Persian Gulf. A swarm of biblical proportions was expected to threaten food supplies and an international group of British, Sudanese and Palestinian experts was assembled to locate and destroy the locusts’ breeding grounds.
