- PZ 584/41 'Omani fear of an invasion.'
- Scope & Content:
-
The file contains correspondence from Major Tom Hickinbotham, Political Agent and HM Consul, Muscat, to Lieutenant Colonel Charles Geoffrey Prior, Political Resident in the Persian Gulf, which is forwarded to Olaf Kirkpatrick Caroe, Secretary to the Government of India, External Affairs Department.
The Consul describes the general fear amongst Omanis that Iran or Russia might invade their country while British attention was turned elsewhere on account of the Second World War, and suggests that the presence of a British warship at Muscat or another coastal town might help to allay these fears.
The file also contains a short political note describing the historical background to the Omanis' fears of invasion, and a naval cypher from the Admiralty to the Commander-in-Chief, East Indies, requesting that a naval visit to Oman be arranged.
