183. It is considered that two medical officers and four n.c.os. of the rank of
Vakil Elected representative or attorney, acting in legal matters such as contracting marriage, inheritance, or business; a high-ranking legal official; could also refer to a custodian or administrator. would be required for this training school. It should be possible for the staffs
jlthe medical college and of the stationary hospital to provide these instructors.
Travelling Scholarships.
184. In order to accelerate the supply of thoroughly qualified medical officers,
the Commission strongly recommend that ten travelling scholarships be provided
annually for medical, veterinary and pharmaceutical students to enable suitable young
men to proceed to Europe and take a degree at some first-class medical or veterinary
college. These scholarships should be granted on the student undertaking an
obligation to enter the Army Medical or Veterinary Service on completing his course.
•*
Ranks and Titles.
185. The Commission recommend that the ranks and titles in the Army Medical
and Veterinary Services should be the same as in the combatant branches of the
Services. Double titles such as Sultan-tabib, Sultan-davasaz, &c., should be
abolished.
(b.) Veterinary Service.
186. The following is the organisation which the Commission recommend for
the Veterinary Service of the army :—
At the War Office. —A veterinary section under the Quartermaster-General, as
shown in the graphic table of War Office Organisation, vide Appendix IV.
187. In each area. A central veterinary hospital situated in the mounted lines,
with the following establishment:—
2 Officers.
1 Vakil Elected representative or attorney, acting in legal matters such as contracting marriage, inheritance, or business; a high-ranking legal official; could also refer to a custodian or administrator. bashi farrier.
2 Farriers.
1 Vakil Elected representative or attorney, acting in legal matters such as contracting marriage, inheritance, or business; a high-ranking legal official; could also refer to a custodian or administrator. bashi.
2 Sarjughehs.
2 Naib sarjugehs.
3 Line orderlies.
5 Batmen (with 5 horses)
188. At each central veterinary hospital farrier courses should be held
continuously, the farriers thus trained being sent to their units. Each hospital to
keep its own stores and drugs. . .
189. The personnel of the hospital should be attached to the nearest unit. Units
should send grooms with sick horses and to arrange for the forage of their own sick
horses.
190. In the Northern area, the veterinary hospital should be run in conjunction
with the veterinary college. The veterinary hospital at Tehran should therefore have
three instead of two officers, one of whom would be available to travel on inspection
in the area while the two others attended to the sick in hospital and acted as
professors at the veterinary hospital.
(IX.) ORGANISATION OF THE WORKS SERVICE.
191. The proposals submitted in the present sub-head are based on the idea that
the maintenance of roads will not be a duty that will devolve on the Military Wor s
Service, that service being only concerned with the construction and maintenance ot
buildings for or occupied by troops and of works of defence. It is presumed that t e
Ministry of Public Works will maintain the roads in the country and also establisn
an engineering college for the training of civil engineers. , , ,
192. At Army Headquarters the Commission recommend that there should be
a Works Section under the Quartermaster-General, vide detail given m the grap
table of the proposed War Office organisation m Appendix IV Ihe head ot tne
section should be a Director of Works (Sarhang) with an assistant (a l avar ) a
two clerks, one of whom should be a draughtsman. At the headquarters of each area
there should be a Chief Works Officer of the area (Naib Sarhang or Yavar) and tw
or three officers (Sultans or Naibs). Wherever there are military buildings or works,
