- Title:
- Coll 7/41 'Disposal of arms and ammunition stored in HM Consulates abroad'
- Scope & Content:
-
Correspondence regarding the disposal of small arms and ammunition from the Consulate-General at Addis Ababa [Ādīs Ābeba]. The correspondents are the Foreign Office, the War Office, and the Acting Consul-General (Alexander Knox Helm).
A list of the arms and ammunition can be found at folios 16-17. The Consul-General advises that the material falls into four categories: property of HMG or the Government of India; property belonging to Europeans who have left Ethiopia; property left behind by persons who took refuge in the Legation in May 1936; and miscellaneous. The possibility of handing the material over to the Italian authorities is discussed, as is the difficulty of disposing of 500 rounds of 'dum-dum' ammunition left by the refugees. The Foreign Office decision is recorded in a letter at folio 4.
The file includes a divider which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the end of the correspondence (folio 1).
