Date:

1941/1942

Description:

Abstract: The file concerns proposals for the appointment of a British Agent at Salalah, the capital of the province of Dhofar in Muscat and Oman. The proposed appointment was considered necessary because of the prospective inauguration of an air route along the southern coast of Arabia, and because the Sultans of Muscat and Oman had recently shown a tendency to spend a great part of their time in Dhofar province.The papers cover: a proposal by the Political Agent, Muscat, to the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf for the construction of a bungalow at Salalah to enable the Political Agent to visit the area at intervals, 28 October 1941; correspondence between the Political Agent, Muscat, and the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf (Lieutenant-Colonel William Rupert Hay) concerning recruitment to the post of British Agent at Salalah, including the suggested appointment of a Kuwaiti citizen, February-March 1942; and correspondence concerning the appointment of a Sub-Assistant Surgeon at Salalah, May-November 1942.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 25; 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 2-20; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled.
