Secreta ry^
This file does not give the date from which Captain
Eooles 1 service with the Muscat state begins, but tmm pg 62
it would appear that he had completed 22j- months when he tea4
proceeded on leave on 15/5/26 of which one month was spent on
leave in 1925. The total leave-earning ^service is therefore
terms ofkli months and at I month for every II, the leave comes to
Loe ds ^
about 2 months in all, and deducting from this the month he
gi^iQved in IQ25 he would appear to be entitled to about just a
month's privelege leave from the Musoat^when he left on 15th
May 1926 • It is therefore difficult to say how the Military
Authorities reckon Captain Eccles's reversion (on expiry of
ppj^yQ3_0g0 leave from the Muscat state) to date from the loth
July 1926. If as stated above he was due only one month's leave
the period from 15/5/26 to 10/6/26 has to be accounted for.
The, date of commencement of Captain Eccles's service
with the Muscat State might be obtained (from sabzabad records
or from Muscat) also the dates from and to which he was
on leave in 1925 and then the calculation of leave due worked
out showing up to what date such leave extends • This date will
be the date of reversion and we can then report it to Q-ovTSs
saying that it is the date according to our reckonning,

About this item
- Content
Correspondence discusses the appointment, leave and pay of the Commandant of the Muscat Levy Corps. Possible candidates were from the Iraq Levies and units of the Indian Army. The Sultan wished to have a young officer with Arabic language skills and experience of working with Arabs. Due to the state of Muscat finances there was uncertainty as to whether to appoint a commandant to the Muscat Levy Corps. Letters discuss the combination of the post of Financial Adviser and Commandant of Muscat Levies to be approved by the State Council and Sayid Sa'id bin Taimur [Sa‘īd bin Taymūr]. A further idea is to have a Royal Engineer Sapper Officer who would also be able to advise on the construction of roads and other engineering schemes.
