About this item
- Content
This file concerns personal salutes given by British naval ships to dignitaries in the Kingdom of the Hejaz and Nejd (later Saudi Arabia).
The correspondence, largely between officials of the Admiralty and the Foreign Office, begins with discussion about the number of gun salutes that should be accorded to members of the Hejazi ruling family and other ruling families in the Gulf. An interdepartmental conference for producing an agreed procedure for all cases is proposed and later deemed unnecessary.
Later correspondence discusses which Hejazi dignitaries should be accorded gun salutes and how many gun salutes they should receive. A scale of salutes approved by the Admiralty in March 1931 states that ministerial heads of fighting services should receive seventeen guns, the Governor of Jedda thirteen guns, and governors of other ports seven. The correspondence also discusses whether the same number of salutes should be given to governors of ports in Yemen.
Correspondents besides those from the Admiralty and the Foreign Office include the following: Commander-in-Chief, Mediterranean; His Majesty's Minister at Jedda (Sir Andrew Ryan); the British Agent and Consul, Jedda (Hugh Stonehewer Bird); the Viceroy of India; officials of the Colonial Office and the India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. .
