I have had the visit of Fr. G-urchi re-oresenting himself as
the accent of ..teed Kohd al Ghanim of Kuwait, who informed me that
SheikK Khazal* s Palace which had apparently been placed free at
our disposal by his heir Sheikh Jassib - building at present
occupied by the D.C.R.U.-had been bought two or three months ago
by Ahmed Kohd el G-hanirn.
The new owner is desirous of obtaining possession of his
property and proposes to offer alternative accommodation.
As this property has been offered free of rent to the British
Forces / the Area, Commander is anxious that every effort should be
made to give satisfaction to the owner.
Will you therefore kindly contact Aimed Mohd al Ghanim and in
conjunction with the D.C.R.E. inspect the alternative accommoda
tion offered and report on the possibility of his move there.
There appears to be no record in this office of the occupa
tion of this building.
It is essential that all hirings should be dealt with by
this office and I would be grateful for informatiqn if any other
property is occupied in Kuwait, either landvor building*or which
this ofiice has at present no ;mowledge.

The terra hiring comprises all .D. holdings whether rent is ■:
paid or not, including Government Property, and the Army Hirings
office acts for the three services and Allied nations.
