Field Marshal Lord Herbert C. Plumer, High Commissioner of Palestine, has been appointed High Commissioner of Transjordania, an official announcement in the London Gazette today states.
Transjordania is a part of the British mandated territory and the appointement of Lord Plumer to the High Commissionership follows immediately upon the agreement concluded between Great Britain and Emir Abdullah, which granted the territory a measure of independence with certain reservations.
Lord Plume will retain his position as High Commissioner of Palestine, administering the two countries.
