Notlar
The file contains correspondence between British officials in Bushire, Bahrain and India, and Charles Belgrave, Adviser to the Government of Bahrain. The early correspondence relates to setting up suitable arrangements to fill Belgrave’s role in Bahrain while he took six months leave in the summer of 1934.
The rest of the file is predominantly concerned with general discussions regarding the alteration of Belgrave’s terms of service, covering his pay and leave, as well as specific arrangements for his leave in India in the early 1940s.
In the final folios of the file, the correspondence discusses increasing opposition to Belgrave within Bahrain in the late 1940s. Of particular interest are folios 124-126, these being an anonymous letter from ‘the people of Bahrain’ to the Minister of Colonies in London, expressing their discontent with Belgrave’s position of power. Folio 137 is an English translation of an article that appeared in

magazine, condemning Belgrave. The Arabic original is contained on Folio 150.
