Sir,
I have the honour to enclose copies of statements made to me
by three persons, namely i•
!• fcaj im bin 4air Abood Bahrein!
2* All bln ^air Abood Bahreini
3* Pli bin Khalil Bahreini.
1 have personally seen their Bahreini documents which are
certificates of Bahrein nationality bearing the seal of the
Financial Adviser to the " over nine nt of Bahrain*
I have also seen their Iranian nationality documents.
From appearance all three appear to be over the age for
recruitment, though the date of birth shown in the Iranian documents
brings them within the age for conscription*
Again, from their appearance, none of them look as though
they would pass the physical standard, if any, required for the
army.
The discrepancy regarding age is probably explained by the
fact that when these persons originally took Iranian nationality
papers they gave their ages to escape conscription on the ground
of youth, hoping that the Bahrain question would be settled,before
they "came of age".
I am informed that several other "Bahreinis" are being
called up.
1 am, Sir,
Your meet obedient servant,
Sgd. F.C.L.CH/UHCY, Capt.,
Hie a a j ci ty , e Consul for Khuaistan,
