beraorandum;-
I have the following comments, to make on the
Report of Inspector Crowe forwarded to me under your
Printed Letter No. C/105 dated the 24th January 1946,
and on his previous report dated September 1945, to
which he refers in his letter.
!• The candidate who was first chosen for the post
of Inspector of Police in charge of the Detachment
seconded for service in Bahrain wps not Inspector Crowe
but another man who unfortunately failed to pass the
medical examination prior to leaving England.
2. Arrangements for Inspector Crowe’s voyage from the
United Kingdom to Bahrain were made by the authorities
in England. He and the other British Police were ex
pected to reach B ahrain by steamer from Basra in about the
middle of September. Inspector Crowe with two other men
arrived by air on 29th August and a telegram announcing
his arrival, which was sent from Iraq, was received on
the day after he reached Bahrain, consequently arrange
ments had not been completed for their arrival. The
three new rooms which had been added to the Fort Bungalow,
w hich was allotted to the British Police, were still in
the hands of painters and carpenters when the Police arriv
ed.
3. Inspector Crowe was told by me that he could occupy
the Inspector’s quarters in the Fort Bungalow or the flat
in His Highness's building adjacent to the Public Relations
Office, which was fully furnished. He decided that he
would prefer to live at the Fort where he could share the
expenses /-
