		While Imam Ahmad bin Said came to prominence in the history of contemporary Oman as the founder of the Bu Said state, information on his private life before his rise confirms that he was a respectable, decent, and honest trader from a purely Arab family that worked primarily as traders.
		Sayyid Sultan bin Ahmad was killed at the end of that continuing struggle on November 30 1804 AD (Shaaban 14 1219 AH), at the hands of mercenaries during a sea trip between Basra and Oman.
		Sultan Sayyid Faysal bin Turki ascended to the rule of Oman at a time when the Arab world was witnessing a wave of colonial influence, particularly from the French and the British, who had occupied many parts of the Arab world or subjugated them to their spheres of influence.

		Ever since 1970, when he acceded to the throne of the Sultanate of Oman, His Majesty, Sultan Qaboos bin Said, has trod a fine line between maintaining the culture and traditions of his country and bringing his people into the modern era.
		Located on the southeast coast of the Arabian Peninsula, bordering the United Arab Emirates in the northwest, Saudi Arabia in the west and Yemen in the southwest, Oman's isolation from the rest of the world was in sharp contrast to its previous history.
		Among the first steps His Majesty took in the modernisation of his country was to abolish its previous name, "the Sultanate of Muscat and Oman" and rename it "the Sultanate of Oman", signifying the unification of a country that was torn by civil war.

	Medals of the Sultanate of Oman (IEPE)
		Sultan Qaboos, however, habitually wears this medal (perhaps the Distinguished Service Medal, the only award of this medal?) as a part of his bar of medals, so his award might well be added to the one to Deputy Commissioner Cooper.
		The ribbon of the Sultan Said medal may be seen carrying a bronze (or silver?) khanjar device or a bronze palm leaf representing bravery in battle.
		It is said that the sultan himself ruled out any "victory" medal, as that misrepresented the sort of national suffering which the war had reprewsneted and that what ought to be commemorated, instead, was Al-Sumood, or "Endurance".
