Date:

1915/1916

Description:

Abstract: The volume comprises telegrams, despatches, correspondence, memoranda, and notes, relating to the war with Germany and Turkey and implications for the Caliphate and the pan-Arab movement. The discussion in the volume relates specifically to the view of the Government of India on Sir Henry Arthur McMahon's correspondence and negotiations with Ḥusayn bin ‘Alī al-Hāshimī, Grand Sharif of Mecca. The volume is divided into two parts. The first part (IOR/L/PS/10/525/1) is particularly focussed on discussion of negotiations with Jemal Pasha.Further discussion surrounds the advance on Baghdad, the protection of Muslim shrines and the deferment of any public pronouncement on the caliphate until Baghdad has been captured by British forces.The principal correspondents in the volume include: the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Sir Edward Grey); the Secretary of State for India; the Viceroy (Charles Hardinge); and the Sherif of Mecca (Ḥusayn bin ‘Alī al-Hāshimī).The volume comprises parts 3-4 of 6 parts. Both parts include a divider which gives the subject and part numbers, the year the subject file was opened, the subject heading, and a list of correspondence references contained in that part by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence for this description commences at the inside front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 273; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
