I r a n G o ye rnm en t having received reports
that certain small sections of the MUTAIR, ATAIBAH and HARB
tribes resident in Iraq had carried out or attempted to carry
out small raids on AKHWAKT tribes, determined to put a stop to
these occurrences and have taken the most energetic measures
to prevent all such raids in future. They have been
promised that if necessary they will receive Iks; assistance
^. A . f
from ^ in carrying out these measures.
They had requested me to inform Your Highness accordingly and
to ask you to be good enough to issue strict orders to your
tribes on the Iraq frontier to refrain from raiding into Iraq.
Before I could communicate with Your Highness I received news
that/ on December 26th AKHWAN tribesmen raided Iraq shepherd
tribes near UMM RAHAL. A British military officer who

happened vat be with the tribes at the time and was under fire
from the raiders reports that the raiders probably numbered
2000, that they captured a large number of sheep and killed
about 100 persons, including all the men and boys who had
been wounded in the attack. I caused immediate action

29th a second raid took place on Iraq tribes near NUKRAT
SULAIMAN. I request that Your Highness will issue

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.
