- Title:
- Employment of Japanese Troops in Mesopotamia
- Scope & Content:
-
The file consists of a memorandum addressed to the War Cabinet by the Political Department of the India Office on the question of the employment of Japanese troops in Mesopotamia. It summarises the Government of India's views given in a telegram dated 21 November 1917, with military and political grounds for objecting to Japanese assistance. It also includes extracts from the Report of the Trade Commissioners who visited Mesopotamia earlier in 1917, and raises the concern that Japanese commercial influence will lead to political claims.
Written by John Evelyn Shuckburgh, 13 December 1917, with an introduction dated 18 December 1917.
