Your telegram of March 27th 1919, No. 76532 A.G.5., (Dy. No. 22473).
Reference para. 1. It is suggested that 2 years should be the period
lor tour of service for British troops in Mesopotamia, and that the period of
oieign service of a British Cavalry Regiment should usually be completed by
a two years tour m that country, but in order to initiate a relief roster it is
suggested that the 1st Dragoon Guards proceed next autumn from India and
that the 18th Hassars should proceed direct from Home to Mesopotamia. The
latter unit would thus have a tour in Mesopotamia before reaching India.
Reference para 2. In the autumn of 1921-22 the relief units to go out
to Mesopotamia would then be 7th Dragoon Guards and 8th Hussars. The
latter would thus complete foreign service, and the former would only have
one year in Mesopotamia, then returning to England. It will thus be ensured
that subsequent reliefs will be limited to one regiment in each year instead of
two regiments in every second year. Has this your approval?
