Title:

'File 17/10 II Flagstaff — flags and other stores'

Date:

1939/1950

Description:

Abstract: The file is concerned with orders of flags and related supplies for the Bahrain Agency's flagstaff and for use on the Agency's launch. It therefore contains a range of records concerning orders, deliveries, payments, related correspondence, and internal agency notes. Most of the supplies are acquired — prior to Indian Independence in 1947 — from either the Royal Indian Dockyard or Army and Naval Stores Limited, both in Bombay. Following independence, supplies are acquired direct from Foreign Office Departments; the principal officers involved being the Naval Store Officer and the Controller of Naval Accounts in Bombay. In addition to procuring supplies for the Bahrain Agency, there is also a little correspondence reflecting its role in distributing flags to the subordinate Trucial Coast Agency, along with a little correspondence on the topic with the Persian Gulf Political Residency.Also contained in the file on folios 165-166 are instructions dated 28 October 1947, from the Persian Gulf Political Residency, regarding the flags to be used by diplomatic and consular officers.Physical description: Foliation: the main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1 and terminates at the inside back cover with 238; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. An additional foliation sequence is also present in parallel between ff 4-164; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled.
