1 have had a long talk with my old friend Hilal Mutairi
and have, 1 think, grasped oondition (Sy of this raid clsarly.
There is no doubt that Faisal Dawish was at head of raiders t
but regular lorces of ikhwan were few in number five standards-
% •
(say # 7C0 men. These were "under strict discipline but they
were joined by an indiscriminate mob ol ordinary bedouins
ittmjc attracted by. hopes ol looi? when word went round that
Faisal Dawishwas going raiding. These men came and went
at will and were kept at a good distance from actual regular
force under Dawish. It is said to be owing to the presence
of these rabs that this Ikhwan raid was not of usual ferooioiE
character and bore^ the aspect of an ordinary bedouin raid
"Ip by? / of old time. My informant says no women and children
were touched and that many lives were spared by connivance of
rab helpers of Ikhwan. If Ira tribes suffered in the way
described by 1'rai account it was probably due to panic and
their hurried retreat across waterless waste. None the less
Ibn saud's complicity cannot be doubted.

About this item
- Content
The volume contains letters, telegrams, and memoranda relating to affairs between the British Mandate of Iraq and The Kingdom of Najd and the Hejaz, ruled by Ibn Sa'ud. Most of the correspondence is between the Political Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. in Bushire, the Political Agencies in Bahrain and Kuwait, the High Commissioner in Baghdad, the Colonial Office in London, the Government of India, Ibn Sa'ud himself and his delegates.
The majority of the volume is concerned with cross-border raids and counter raids between Iraq and Najd and efforts to put a stop to them. With the British attempting to mediate, the raids were carried out by the Ikhwan and tribal groups in Iraqi and Kuwaiti territory, including sections of the 'Ajman, Mutayr, Shammar, Awazim, 'Utaibah, Harb, and Dahamshah tribes. The documents reflect the divergent opinions among British officials on what British policy should be in the region as well as the inadequacies of the borders as they were defined. The volume ends with efforts to set up a tribunal to settle claims of compensation between the two governments as stipulated in the Bahra Agreement.
