- Scope & Content:
-
Part 4 consists of correspondence relating to the possible declaration of a caliphate in Arabia and is a continuation of part 3 (IOR/L/PS/10/525/1). The papers tell of the British assessment of the situation and the French attitude, as well as correspondence and negotiations with Ḥusayn bin ‘Alī al-Hāshimī, the Grand Sharif of Mecca. The file also discusses the British view of the proposed blockade of the Arabian ports in the Red Sea.
The file also includes a printed document (ff 25-242) marked 'secret' entitled 'Policy in the Middle East', which consists mainly of communications on the military situation in Mespotamia from Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Mark Sykes to the Director of Military Information.
The discussion over such matters is mostly between Sir Arthur Henry McMahon, the General Officer Commanding, Egypt, and the Commander-in-Chief, India.
