Dear Sirs,
H. T»TINOLfiBO H .
I wish to draw ./our attention, as Agents, to an
incident which occurred yesterday afternoon, whilst the above
Vossui ..as in port. At 5.46 P.M., three K.A.F.personnel visit
ing tne shore were stopped at the Cuslonfc; ^ite iiaving in their
possession bottled beer wnich was opened and was oeinj drunk
openly in public, as this is a serious offence in Bahrein, I
shcill be glctd if you will take the necessary steps to avoid a
recurrence of this nature.
The offence ns further aggravated by taking place
during j Uunadhan, wiien eating, dMOkin^ c »nd drinking in public
is -rohibitted during the hours of sunrise to senset.
I would therefore suggest that eiUier,
a) The R.A.i ? . and Military Authorities be askvjd to
cixxiularise H.T.Vessels calling at txiis port,
pointing out tine various restrictions that are
in force in Bahrein;
b) Shore leave be not allowed;
c) As the Beer being consumed was obviously N AFI
beer, the NAAFI be instructed by the -iesponsible
Authorities not to sell Beer to individuals pass-
in^ tiiroi%hj oy the bottle.
Yours faithfully,
sd/- G.W.R. Suith.
