The Sardar arrived at Meshed from Tehran on the

The Turkomans whose numbers had now increased to
some 2 , 000 , however, still continued their raids on the
Meshed-Tehran and Kuchan-Askhabad roads and in the
Jajarm and Samalqan districts. The most serious of these
raids took place on 16th November in the Milanlu District,
36 miles north-west of Kuchan, where 60 villages were
looted, 124 people killed, 18 women and children carried
off as well as many camels and sheep.
The detachment in Samalqan came into contact with
these Turkomans, but as they were in grave danger of
being cut off retired to their post at Samalqan without
having fired a shot.

with reinforcements.

mutinied and telegraphed to Divisional Headquarters com
plaining that they had not received their pay for 4 months.
The Colonel on his return ordered 20 ringleaders to be
flogged. Thereupon all the men mutinied and the Colonel
in a frantic endeavour to restore the situation then turned
a machine gun on them killing 22 and wounding 1.3.

the garrison of Bujnurd consisting of 700 men of all arms,
who arrived on 11 th January.
As a result of this mutiny afid his failure in dealing with
the Turkomans', Husain Aqa Khazai, the General Officer
Commanding, was recalled to Tehran on the 18th January.
