Notes
This file contains correspondence regarding an expansion of harbour facilities in Kuwait that was completed by the British military authorities in Iraq.
Specifically, the correspondence relates to the expansion of a landing jetty at Shuwaikh that was owned by the Kuwait Oil Company and the construction of a large water tank nearby. In addition to correspondence, the file also includes some technical details of the construction work and details of the costs involved in it.
The correspondence is primarily between British officials in Iraq and Kuwait, but the file also contains a limited amount of correspondence with the Kuwait Oil Company and the Ruler of Kuwait, Shaikh Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah (in Arabic with English translations).
