Chief Commissioner's Province of Aden

Extracted from the Wikipedia article Aden Province.

The Chief Commissioner's Province of Aden was a province of British Raj under which the former Aden Settlement (1839–1932) was placed from 1932 to 1937. Under that new status, the Viceroy of India assumed control over Aden, which had hitherto been administered by the government of the Bombay Presidency. The Aden Protectorate remained unaffected by this change.
