TRe troops were met outside the town by the Deputy Govern'or and local
officials as also by a huge concourse of the inhabitants, and were accorded an
enthusiastic reception.
The men were accommodated in a house formerly occupied by the Manager
of the Imperial Bank of Persia. It is situated about 300 yards from His
Britannic Majesty's Consulate and has smce been established as the Head
quarters of the Bandar Abbas " Kushun."
Their equipment was a mixture of that of the late Swedish Gendermerie
and to the fcouth Persia Rifles, from the remnants of both of which the men had
apparently been recruited.
Local guards at the ^ Hakumat," Imperial Bank and the Finance Depart
ment, hitherto consisting of tufangchis, were taken over by Persian regulars.
Shortly after arrival, the Rais-i-Kushun introduced the ' Curfew Order."
This led to interference with British subjects and townspeople alike but owing
to representations made by His Britannic Majesty's Consulate the order was
lescmtied.,
20 Baluch Sowars were enlisted in March.
The Infantry detachment was distributed in the neighbouring districts to
protect the caravan routes, and about 30 men were stationed at Minab. The
result was that complaints of extortion by the Surbazes immediately began to
pour in. The presence of persian troop^ at Minab addedio the troubles of the in
habitants who were now preyed upon by both Baluchis and Sarbazes.
On one occasion in March when the looting of 8 camels was reported near
Eudkhaneh Soor, the Sarbazes who were despatched after the robbers beat the
Kaiantar of Rezwan and arrested the Kattldiuda of Kalkazi. The latter was
released after investigation of the case.
Illtreatment of the troops at Bandar Abbas by the Officer Comn^mding
caused a number of Sarbazes to take ^ Bast " in the Telegraph Office on the lltii
March and complain to Kerman. They x return)ed to their barracks on receiving
an assurance that an officer from Kerman would be deputed to enquire into their
grievance.
Several complaints were received during March on account of excesses being
committed in the town by Sarbazes.
Bandar Abbas was en fete on the occasion of the visit on inspection on the
28th March of Sarhang Mahomed Khan, Commanding at Kerman, who was
accompanied by four ollicers and 30 Sowars.
Mohamed Khan was met by the Deputy Governor at Nakhl-el-Nakhuda and
received a tremendous ovation from the inhabitants who turned out to welcome
him and assembled in front of the " Kushun. "
The flag staffs in the town were decorated by day and illuminated by night.
A salute of 11 guns announced the arrival of the Colonel.
As the result of his intvestigations locally about 20 Sarbazes were very
severely flogged and two sent to Kerman in chains.
Sarhang Mohamed Khan departed for Kerman on April 1st leaving Sultan
Abdul Husain Mirza in command at Bandar Abbas.
During May sickness prevailed amongst the troops and the whole of the
original detachment was invalided and the garrison recruited locally.
On June 28th Naib Ali Asghar Khan relieved Sultam Abdul Husain Mirza in
command.
Under instructions from Tehran, the Police force of tufangchis was abolished
in August and its duties transferred to the regulars.
Disarmament of the local inhabitants was decided upon by the Central
authorities but on further consideration the orders sent to the Rais-i-Kushun
were countermanded. • , . „
Unaah —Yawar Mi Asghar Khan arrived from Bushire on the 6th Septem
ber to establish a garrison. He brought 60 men under a subaltern Naib Mumr
Huzoor.
His arrival caused a great impression in the town.
The local merchants called on the Major and conveyed general satisfaction of
the townspeople at the arrival of Persian troops. r + i, *
At a reception held, patriotic speeches were made m which a Nationalist hot
head Pxnrpssed a hope that Bahrein and Oman would be recovered from th«
British by the Persian Army.
