- Title:
- File No. 17/15 WIRELESS STATION AT DUBAI
- Scope & Content:
-
The file contains proposals from the Director of Posts and Telegraphs at Karachi (Harbans Lal Jerath) to the Political Agent at Bahrain (Cornelius James Pelly, Arnold Crawshaw Galloway) and Political Resident in the Persian Gulf (Arnold Crawshaw Galloway, William Rupert Hay) to establish a wireless station at Dubai and a Post Office at Sharjah.
Neither proposal is taken forward at that time owing to the Royal Air Force (RAF) taking over the existing wireless station at Dubai belonging to the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) and the Indian Posts and Telegraphs Service deciding to undertake a review of the future of postal services in the Persian Gulf.
Included in the file is a letter in Arabic and English from the Sheikh of Sharjah (Shaikh Sulṭān bin Saqr Āl Qasimī) from 1938 regarding the possibility of establishing a post office there.
A series of file notes which were maintained as a record of the correspondence in the volume can be found at folios 13-14.
