After the inspection I discusaod the proposed Bahrain
Levy Corns with Captain Albam tsy original idea had been
to suggest that the reduction of 100 non suggested by Mr*
i • % ■
Wingate In his letter TTo*in~R« dated 51st August 1085 should
be transferred to Bahrain and utilised there, as a nucleus for
the Bahrain Corps, but X found that, owing to the very bad state
of the Muscat Finances with which in his capacity of Financial
Adviser Captain Alban was only too well acquainted, he had
allowed the Corps to be reduced to 2m officers and wen which
Is the lowest at which it can stand and retain its usefulness*
Captain Alban» however, will be quite premred to raise and
train 100 local rekran Baluchis for service in Bahrain, and if
necessary and if the >f uscat Governnent agreed he would be
prepared to visit Bahrain froo tine to tiia© to ins^act the
Corps and supervise it* Further after sorie persuasion he
agreed to lend the services of nubadar Hiaz Ali the Snd Indian
Officer with his Corns to Conrand the Bahrain Corps* He informed
me that TTiaa Ali is an excellent nan, who was for sore years
in the South Persia Rifles and h^d Independent comands and is
accustoned to being •on hi-s own"* I have already alluded to
this In ny renort on the Bahrain refoms and consider it would
be a good arrangement*
I was very ^lad to have an opportunity of seeing the Corps
at worfe and an pleased to be able to report that it seessis to
be a very usef^il body capable of glvinj^ great ase^tano# to
the "uscat State#
I have the honour tp be,
Sir,
If our most obedient servant,
