At the start of the <a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">First World War</a>, it was responsible for the arrest of enemy spies, or suspected enemy spies. Throughout the First World War, Germany continually attempted to infiltrate Britain, but MI5 was able to identify most, if not all, of the agents dispatched. During the <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">Second World War</a>, it developed the <a href="/wiki/Double-Cross_System" title="Double-Cross System">Double-Cross System</a>. This involved attempting to 'turn' captured agents wherever possible, and use them to mislead enemy intelligence agencies. </p><p>After the war, the service was instrumental in breaking up a large <a href="/wiki/Soviet_Union" title="Soviet Union">Soviet</a> spy ring at the start of the 1970s. It then allegedly became involved in monitoring <a href="/wiki/Trade_union" title="Trade union">trade unions</a> and left-wing politicians.

Admiralty">Admiralty</a> and the <a href="/wiki/War_Office" title="War Office">War Office</a>.

The former specialisation was a result of a growing interest at the Admiralty, at the time, in intelligence regarding the fleet of the <a href="/wiki/Imperial_German_Navy" title="Imperial German Navy">Imperial German Navy</a>. This division was formalised, as separate home and foreign sections, prior to the beginning of the <a href="/wiki/First_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="First World War">First World War</a>.

With a small staff, and working in conjunction with the <a href="/wiki/Special_Branch_(Metropolitan_Police)" title="Special Branch (Metropolitan Police)">Special Branch</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Metropolitan_Police" title="Metropolitan Police">Metropolitan Police</a>, the service was responsible for overall direction and the identification of foreign agents, while Special Branch provided the manpower for the investigation of their affairs, arrest and interrogation.<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On the day after the declaration of the First World War, the Home Secretary, <a href="/wiki/Reginald_McKenna" title="Reginald McKenna">Reginald McKenna</a>, announced that "within the last twenty-four hours no fewer than twenty-one spies, or suspected spies, have been arrested in various places all over the country, chiefly in important military or naval centres, some of them long known to the authorities to be spies".<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> These arrests have provoked recent historical controversy. According to the official history of MI5, the actual number of agents identified was 22, and Kell had started sending out letters to local police forces on 29 July, giving them advance warning of arrests to be made as soon as war was declared. <a href="/w/index.php?title=Portsmouth_Constabulary&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Portsmouth Constabulary (page does not exist)">Portsmouth Constabulary</a> jumped the gun and arrested one on 3 August, and not all of the 22 were in custody by the time that McKenna made his speech, but the official history regards the incident as a devastating blow to <a href="/wiki/Imperial_Germany" class="mw-redirect" title="Imperial Germany">Imperial Germany</a>, which deprived them of their entire spy ring, and specifically upset the Kaiser.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 2006, his article 'Entering the Lists' was published in the journal <i>Intelligence and National Security</i>, outlining the products of his research into recently opened files.<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Hiley was sent an advance copy of the official history, and objected to the retelling of the story.

Throughout the First World War, Germany continually attempted to infiltrate Britain, but MI5 was able to identify most, if not all, of the agents dispatched. MI5 used a method that depended on strict control of entry and exit to the country and, crucially, large-scale inspection of mail. In post-war years, attention turned to attempts by the <a href="/wiki/Soviet_Union" title="Soviet Union">Soviet Union</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Comintern" class="mw-redirect" title="Comintern">Comintern</a> to surreptitiously support revolutionary activities within Britain. MI5's expertise, combined with the early incompetence of the Soviets, meant the bureau was successful in correctly identifying and closely monitoring these activities.<sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the meantime, MI5's role had grown substantially. Due to the spy hysteria, MI5 had formed with far more resources than it actually needed to track down German spies. As is common within governmental bureaucracies, this caused the service to expand its role to use its spare resources. MI5 acquired many additional responsibilities during the war. Most significantly, its strict counter-espionage role blurred considerably. It acquired a much more political role, involving the surveillance not merely of foreign agents, but also of <a href="/wiki/Pacifism" title="Pacifism">pacifist</a> and anti-<a href="/wiki/Conscription" title="Conscription">conscription</a> organisations, and of <a href="/wiki/Trade_unionism" class="mw-redirect" title="Trade unionism">organised labour</a>. This was justified by citing the common belief that foreign influence was at the root of these organisations. Thus, by the end of the First World War, MI5 was a fully-fledged investigating force (although it never had powers of arrest), in addition to being a counter-espionage agency. The expansion of this role continued after a brief post-war power struggle with the head of the <a href="/wiki/Special_Branch" title="Special Branch">Special Branch</a>, Sir <a href="/wiki/Basil_Thomson" title="Basil Thomson">Basil Thomson</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>After the First World War, budget-conscious politicians regarded Kell's department as unnecessary. In 1919, MI5's budget was slashed from £100,000 to just £35,000, and its establishment from over 800 officers to a mere 12. At the same time, Sir <a href="/wiki/Basil_Thomson" title="Basil Thomson">Basil Thomson</a> of Special Branch was appointed Director of Home Intelligence, in supreme command of all domestic counter-insurgency and counter-intelligence investigations. Consequently, as official MI5 historian <a href="/wiki/Christopher_Andrew_(historian)" title="Christopher Andrew (historian)">Christopher Andrew</a> has noted in his official history <i>Defence of the Realm</i> (2010), MI5 had no clearly defined role in the <a href="/wiki/Anglo-Irish_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Anglo-Irish War">Anglo-Irish War</a> of 1919–1921. To further worsen the situation, several of Kell's officers defected to Thomson's new agency, the Home Intelligence Directorate. MI5 therefore undertook no tangible intelligence operations of consequence during the <a href="/wiki/Irish_War_of_Independence" title="Irish War of Independence">Irish War of Independence</a>. MI5 did undertake the training of <a href="/wiki/British_Army" title="British Army">British Army</a> case-officers from the Department of Military Intelligence (DMI), for the Army's so-called "Silent Section", otherwise known as M04(x). Quickly trained by MI5 veterans at <a href="/wiki/Cavalry_Barracks,_Hounslow" title="Cavalry Barracks, Hounslow">Hounslow Barracks</a>, outside London, these freshly-minted M04(x) Army case-officers were deployed to <a href="/wiki/Dublin" title="Dublin">Dublin</a> beginning in the spring of 1919. Over time, 175 officers were trained and dispatched to Ireland. In Ireland, they came under the command of General <a href="/wiki/Cecil_Romer" title="Cecil Romer">Cecil Romer</a> and his Deputy, Lieutenant Colonel Stephen Searle Hill-Dillon.<sup id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In April 1919, Colonel Walter Wilson of the Department of Military Intelligence arrived in Dublin to take over the day-to-day management of these 175 Army intelligence-officers, and the unit was designated as the "Dublin District Special Branch" (DMI/MO4(x)/DDSB), because it operated exclusively within the confines of the Army's Dublin Military District. Royal Marine Colonel <a href="/wiki/Hugh_Montgomery_(Royal_Marines_officer)" title="Hugh Montgomery (Royal Marines officer)">Hugh Montgomery</a> of the Department of Naval Intelligence, was also seconded to Romer's intelligence staff at this time.<sup id="cite_ref-Hittle_32-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hittle-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> British Army after-action reports and contemporary accounts indicate that M04(x)/DDSB was considered by some a highly amateurish outfit.

Three of Collins's men were apprehended after engaging in a shoot-out on the street, and at least two of the wounded British officers had no connection whatsoever to British intelligence. Moreover, with MO4(x) having fielded a total of 175 agents of the DDSB, Collins's operation only temporarily slowed British momentum. Within days, the remaining 160-odd M04(x) agents were re-established in secure quarters inside solidly loyalist hotels in Dublin, from where they continued to pursue Collins and the IRA relentlessly right up until the truce of July 1921.<sup id="cite_ref-Hittle_32-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hittle-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In December 1920, the entire DDSB was transferred from <a href="/wiki/British_Army" title="British Army">British Army</a> command to civil command under Deputy Police Commissioner General Ormonde Winter, and thereafter was known as "D Branch" within Dublin Castle.

This eased pressure on MI5, and allowed it to concentrate on its major wartime success, the so-called <a href="/wiki/Double_Cross_System" class="mw-redirect" title="Double Cross System">'double-cross' system</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Masterman_38-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Masterman-38"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>38<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This was a system based on an internal memo drafted by an MI5 officer in 1936, which criticised the long-standing policy of arresting and sending to trial all enemy agents discovered by MI5. Several had offered to defect to Britain when captured; before 1939, such requests were invariably turned down. The memo advocated attempting to 'turn' captured agents wherever possible, and use them to mislead enemy intelligence agencies. This suggestion was turned into a massive and well-tuned system of deception during the Second World War.<sup id="cite_ref-Masterman_38-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Masterman-38"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>38<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Beginning with the capture of an agent named <a href="/wiki/Arthur_Owens" title="Arthur Owens">Arthur Owens</a>, codenamed 'Snow', MI5 began to offer enemy agents the chance to avoid prosecution (and thus the possibility of the death penalty) if they would work as British <a href="/wiki/Double-agent" class="mw-redirect" title="Double-agent">double-agents</a>. Agents who agreed to this were supervised by MI5 in transmitting bogus 'intelligence' back to the German secret service, the <a href="/wiki/Abwehr" title="Abwehr">Abwehr</a>.

A high-level committee, the Wireless Board, was formed to provide this information.

A post-war analysis of German intelligence records found that of the 115 or so agents targeted against Britain during the war, all but one (who committed suicide) had been successfully identified and caught, with several 'turned' to become double agents. The system played a major part in the massive campaign of deception which preceded the <a href="/wiki/D-Day" class="mw-redirect" title="D-Day">D-Day</a> landings, designed to give the Germans a false impression of the location and timings of the landings (see <a href="/wiki/Operation_Fortitude" title="Operation Fortitude">Operation Fortitude</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-Masterman_38-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Masterman-38"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>38<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>While the double-cross work dealt with enemy agents sent into Britain, a smaller-scale operation run by <a href="/wiki/Victor_Rothschild,_3rd_Baron_Rothschild" title="Victor Rothschild, 3rd Baron Rothschild">Victor Rothschild</a> targeted British citizens who wanted to help Germany.
