Papers also discuss the subsequent claim made by the Hellenic Government against the Persian Government. The file’s principal correspondents are: the British Vice-Consulate at Resht (Archibald William Davis); the British Legation at Tehran (Robert Henry Clive); the British Chargé d’Affaires in Persia (Lacy Baggallay).Later correspondence in the file, dated 1934, relates to the transfer of responsibility for Greek nationals in Persia, from the British to the Turkish Government.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 38; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
