79140/30.
26th June, 1930
My dear Blscoe,
I write to bring to your notice a small
point of procedure, which I should like to put straight.
I see, from papers which have reached me from
Sir F.Humphrys, that, when communicating recently
with Baghdad about the possibility of using aircraft
from the Iraq garrison for punitive operations in the
Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. , you addressed your despatch to the Air
Officer Commanding, instead of to the High Commissioner.
This was very probably an oversight, but you
will agree, I am sure, with me that it would be more
according to the "book" to communicate with the High
Commissioner rather than the Air Officer Commanding on
such questions, at any rate until a stage is reached at
which operations have actually to be undertaken.
Will you please see that this procedure is
followed in future?
Yours, etc.,
(Sd) J.E.SHUCKSUHGH•
Lieut-Colonel H.V.Biscoe.
