Introduction
Prior to the outbreak of World War I the Governor did not receive or send many telegrams so any telegraphic despatches were filed in the Despatch Books.
By 1915 the large amount of telegraphic correspondence necessitated that the telegrams sent and received were bound together in their own letter book. Two of these volumes were created covering the years 1915 to 1920 and are part of the F Series of manuscript books.
The indexes were created over a number of years by history graduates undertaking work experience in the Archives.
