ADMINiSTKATION EEPOET
After a short time it was found that it T(ould be impossible to tnovfl
up to Kerman without a stiffening of regular troops and accordingly one sec
tion of the 23rd Indian Mountain Battery, one Squadron of the 15fch Laneers
and the Headquarters Wing of the 12ith Baluchistan Infantry were desDafW
ed to Bandar Abbas from Bushire.
Some ^tie time was spent in raising a few men for the South Persia
Military Police, and then considerable difficulty was experienced in col
lecting sufficient transport for the column. It, however, started for Kerman'
in two echelons, on th^ 17th and 21st May, and reached Kerman after a ciuiet
march on the 11th June. At Kerman General Sykes received an enthusiastio
welcome. Energetic measures were taken to punish people who had helned
the uermans, and to get the town into some sort of order.

o Shu-az, and left Kerman on the 26th July wa Yezd and Ispahan, leavin?

been adopted instead of South Persia Military Police) at Kerman.

time arrived at Kerman (on 24th July) and had taken over the Political and
August and left on
the ^ 8th August having had a very cordial welcome there. It reached Ispahan
on the 10th September and remained there some time, as at this moment Ispahan
was threatened by the advance of the Turks from Hamadan, and it seemed
p ssible that the co-operations of the column would be required. This, however
OnfJ! tml 1 ne . C( : ssai 7 a nd General Sykes left Ispahan with the column on
October .0th arnnng at^ Shiraz on the 12th November. On its arrival at
Ispahan the column received a most enthusiastic welcome from the Russians and
I ersians, and during its stay the officers and men were most hospitably treated.
