Sir,
With reference to the correspondence ending with
Foreign and political Department telegram No. 2540-S.,dated
11 th November 1921 regarding the garrison and detachments
in the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
, I have the honour to state that the
existing garrisons are very‘much the same as those, fixed in
the telegram No. 510-S, dated the 28th April 1921, only a
few minor modifications having occurred.
These at present consist of
Busnire. headquarters of the Regiment finding the Gulf
garrisons and about 450 men.
As long as it is necessary to have a regiment in the Gulf
Bushire is the obvious place for its headquarters, and as
long as tiie present conditions prevail in south Persia, and
the Persian Government have not one single soldier nearer
to the coast than Shiraz and Kerman, I think it is essential
that we should keep some troops in the Gulf to protect
British interests and ensure the maintenance of our Telegraph
stations
line (Gwettar to Jask), cable/axatito* (Gharbar,Jask,Henjam
and Bushi re) and wireless installations (Henjam ana Bushirp).
