recommendations clearance.
In addition, in May, 1945, approximately 1 ton was supplied
to the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. £rem stock held by one of the normal
exporters to that area. (The same firm has supplied from stock
on several previous occasions).

I am not sure, incidentally, exactly what your interest is

have undertaken the responsibility for this area?
Yours sincerely,
