Consiil and Assistant Political Officer
Personnel. during the absence of Captain E. G. b'
Peel on tour from the beginning of the year until his return on the 30th
January 1919.
Captain E. H. O. Elkingfcon, M.C , 36th Sikhs, was appointed Assistant
Political Officer on the 2nd June 1919 and acted as His Britannic Majesty's
Vice-Consul, during the absence of Captain E. G B. Peel on tour from 16th
June till his return on the 25th October, and again from the 2nd of November
till the end of the year, during the absence of Captain E. G. B. Peel on leaye.
Mr. A. J. Sequeira, head clerk, was relieved by Mr. K. K. Som on 31st
March 1919, on being transferred.
Mr. K. K. Som was relieved by Mr. K. M. Sahani, c n proceeding on leave
on 18th November 1919.
S. A. S. Atta Mohammed continued to be attached to the Civil Hospital
during the year.
The escort of the 31th Poona Horse attached to this Vice-Consulate were
relieved on the 25th July 1919 by an escort of the 26th Cavalry. The former
escort had been in Persia just under six years on account of the difficulty of
relieving them during the war. I am of the opinion however, that escorts
should on no account be permitted to serve for more than three years, if pos
sible this period being reduced to two, as lengthy absence from their regiments
is more than likely to have an adverse affect on their chances of promotions,
etc., when they return.
ihe beginning of the year 1919 found the situation extraordinarily tran-

of the past. 0 J

the regime of law and order would shortly end.
