Lieutenant* and wearing No 0 3 dress, I called on General
Azizullah Zarghanii, Chief of General Staff* The General
has no English and little French^ but Colonel Atapur acted
as interpreter* The General did not strike me as having a
very pleasant personality; he is bearded ^resembling
pictures of Lenin) and appears to suffer from halitosis*
The call lasted for some 10 minutes when the usual
platitudes were exchanged*, and after being refreshed with
tea,I proceeded to call upon Major General Ahmad
Nakhchevan, the Minister for War* He is a much more
genial type than the Chief of General Staff* but again
the interview was somewhat difficult owing to the
necessity for employing an interpreter* After these calls,
I proceeded to write my name in the book of the Earl of
Athlone and Her Royal Highness Princess Alice*

to call upon His Majesty the Shah.* and at 1430 we had
the honour of being received by him* Both the Earl and
myself wore full dress*

the two National Anthems* After I had inspected the
Guards, the Royal Naval Guard marched through the town
with fixed bayonets to their Quarters at the Military
Academy* H*BoMo Minister and the Legation staff, and
practically the entire British community were at the
station to meet the Guard*
4 o ' At 20l5*r I had the honour of dining with HoBoM*
Minister and Mrs* Seymour at the Legation the Earl of
Athlone and Princess Alice being the principal guests*
