- Abstract: The file contains complaint and resignation letters from the only two locally-engaged clerical staff working at the British Political Agency in Kuwait: Abdul Mohsin, the passport clerk, and Israel Kadoo (also spelt Kaddo), the interpreter. The complaints centre around their pay, allowances and leave entitlements, following their transfer from Government of India to British Government service under Foreign Office terms and conditions in 1948 (as a result of Indian Independence in 1947). The two petitioners are the subject of the bulk of the correspondence in the file, conducted between: the Political Agent at Kuwait; the Political Resident and his Secretary at the Persian Gulf Residency in Bahrain; and the Establishment and Organisation Department of the Foreign Office in London. Also included in the file is a list of all locally engaged, temporary staff working at the British Political Agencies in Bahrain, Kuwait, Muscat and Sharjah in 1948, showing their name, role, grade, pay and allowances.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 27; 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 present in parallel between ff 1-26; these numbers are also written in pencil and are not circled, but are crossed through.
