- Title:
- File 24/10 John Hinsler
- Scope & Content:
- The file contains only four documents, all dating from October 1946. There is a letter and enclosure from the British Embassy in Baghdad to the Political Agent, Bahrain asking him to take temporary custody of a seemingly harmless destitute calling himself John Hinsler, who had been detained in Persia during the Second World War. An accompanying aide memoire contains a record of the verbal account given by John Hinsler, who claimed to have been born in 1902 in China to English parents and orphaned as a child. In a letter of reply, the Political Agent declines to accept the transfer of John Hinsler to Bahrain pending his repatriation to China, on the grounds of his former connection with Persia.
