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.
