1919/1919

Description:

Abstract: This is a note prepared by the Political Department of the India Office concerning on what terms authorities in Mesopotamia should return to their original British owners a number of rivercraft that were captured in the first instance by the Turks and subsequently recaptured by the British forces in the course of operations in Mesopotamia. These include rivercraft owned by Messrs Lynch Brothers (including moto-boat Mosca, steam-launch Asp, tug Sumana,, steam-launch Ishtar, and steamer Khalifah) and Messrs Strick, Scott and Company (including steamer Sebeh) which appear in tables giving their reported approximate value and remarks about their capture and recapture.Physical description: Foliation: The foliation for this sequence commences at folio 58, and terminates at folio 60, as it is part of a larger physical volume; 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 also present in parallel between folios 7-153; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled, and can be found in the same position as the main sequence.
