The Resldonoj',
Bushire, 9th June 1980,
Your demi-official letter dated £2nd May {received 6th
Juno) regarding posGibiltty of reprisals by Omanis.
I think you are right that it is extremely improbable that the
Omanis will attempt any attack on I!uttra or Muscat again.
They have no stomach for anything of the sort since their
effort in 1911, or 1912 was it?
A It will be a good thing If you can get your Levy Corps
ready made en "bloo from Seistam I rather doubt these up
country Baluchis or Brahuis (if the Seistan Ooros is up country
Baluchi s) staying at Muscat long - hut perhaps thoy might con a j
for a year or so whilo other men from the 11 Gameir 11 as they
call the coast district (and rightly) in Persia® Hiedormayer
||
or one of the German simsh^buc&lers in Persia during the war
said he could go all through the country with 200 men and a
couple of mountain guns, and he (or some of his confreres) was
as good as his word. "7
I suggestod that the Regiment at Muscat should find Jask
and Charbar garrisons "because if the Regiment here found them
it would have reduced our strength here too much while the
rebel Khans are 11 in heing* 0 However a proposal has "been made
on other grounds to raise the overseas strength of the Regiment
temporarily (there is no diffSiculty about it as there are about
400 men eating their heads off at the depot), and so I have
wired to Foreign suggesting that if any increase jjs made an
additional 100 men may be thrown in so as to provide men for
these two detachments# this is done^ it will get rid of
the difficulty of the long picquet line.
