Coll 7/22 'Portuguese India: supply of arms and ammunition by British India'

Content

The file contains requests made by the Government of Portuguese India for arms and accessories, ammunition, gas masks, and telephonic equipment, to be supplied from Government of India surplus war material. Copies of the outgoing responses from the Government of India Foreign and Political- and External Affairs Departments are also found within the file. There is a small amount of correspondence dated 1940, conducted between the Government of India and the War Office, regarding further requests for ammunition; these were denied due to a change in Government policy on the export of arms and ammunition.
