He was commander of the Palestinian police during the British Mandate, commander of Jerusalem during the period of Jordanian Rule of the West Bank, and close to the Jordanian royal family. He was also a personal military accompaniment to both the Jordanian Kings Abdullah I bin al-Hussein and Hussein bin Talal, before he died on 27 January 1995.

The collection belongs to Muhannad's father, Saadeh al-Jallad, and documents his work in the military service through photographs. It also contains a service book issued by the British Mandate Government in 1948.
