Dear Sir,
We have been consulted by a Client who is resident in
Baghdad, and who is interested in Mr. Naoum Abfco of Basra.
Mr. Abbo was in the employ of the British Consul at
Basra as chief dragoman for approximately fourteen years, up
to the outbreak of War, and For four _ years thereafter in the
Political Department of the Government of India, at Irak, until
shortly before the Armistice in 1918.
We have in our possession various copies of documents

ircm which it appears that in 1919 sanction was accorded to the
grant of a pension of Rs. 75 per month to Mr. Abbo with effect
from the 1st June 1918, This sanction was signed by a Mr. L.M.
Swann who at that time was a Secretary of the Financial Depart
ment, and at present is adviser to the Irak Finance Ministry. He
signed this sanction for and on behalf of the Civil Commissioner
in Mesopotamia under a Memorandum No. 4639/133/181/11 which was
directed to the Military Governor and Political Adviser, Basra.
On the 22nd January 1923 a Memorandum No. 2962 was issued to the
Divisional Adviser at Basra to the effect that the payment of the
allowance to Mr. Abbo should be discontinued.
We understand that a great deal of correspondence has
passed between Mr. Abbo and the British Government with regard
to this discontinuance of the pension, and ultimately an appeal
was
