ended up as Manager of the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. Section
when Cable and Wireless took it over and he was
one of the most tactful and politically useful
men I have met. If he is not too fax gone
physically, which 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. could easily
discover as he is a pensioner, he might be
