- Title:
- File 3819/1911 'Persia: Major Stokes'
- Scope & Content:
-
This file contains correspondence between British officials concerning the desire of William Morgan Shuster, Treasurer-General of the Persian Government, to appoint Major Claude Bayfield Stokes of the Indian Army as a financial assistant responsible for the organisation of a Treasury Gendarmerie. This proposal was ultimately refused due to the resistance of the Russian and British governments for its perceived contravention of the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907, which had divided Persia into Russian and British zones of influence.
The majority of the correspondence in the file is between Sir Edward Grey, Foreign Secretary; Sir George Barclay, British Ambassador to Persia; and Sir George Buchanan, British Ambassador to Russia. The file contains a limited amount of correspondence in French, including drafts of letters to be sent from the British Government to the Government of Persia. Copies of correspondence between Shuster and Barclay are also enclosed in the file.
The volume includes a divider which gives the year that the subject file was opened, the subject heading, and a list of correspondence references contained in it arranged by year. This divider is placed at the front of the volume.
