- Abstract: This volume contains requests for skilled personnel from British civil and military authorities in newly occupied territory in Iraq written between 1916 and 1920, to the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf, and the Government of India. The papers primarily consist of letters from Basra or Baghdad requesting the secondment or requisition of staff to Iraq from India. The letters discuss the various roles required as well as their pay and tenure. The roles range from police superintendents to postal clerks, police officers, medical staff and a range of other military personnel.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the inside front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 348; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
