Railway Coal (Applications from former members of the Sierra Leone Volunteer Naval Force)

Dates of original material: 1929-1935; 1940-1950. Requirements for supply of railway coal, and negotiations with Sierra Leone Development Co., United Africa Co., Elder Dempster Lines for shipping and supply, discussions of price and savings etc. Also inserted in this file are several applications from former members of the Sierra Leone Volunteer Naval Force for compensation, naval prize money and campaign stars and medals, following a public notice in 1949 inviting them to apply. It is unclear why these letters are in this file and they are assumed to have been erroneously filed.
