The main correspondents are the following: His Majesty's Minister at Jedda (later referred to as Ambassador at Jedda; named postholders include Sir Reader William Bullard and later Laurence Barton Grafftey-Smith, succeeded by Alan Charles Trott); the High Commissioner for the United Kingdom in India (Terence Shone); officials of the Foreign Office, the India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947.
