- Content
Extract facsimile of a diagram enclosed by Colonel Arthur Talbot Wilson in his despatch of 1850 showing the differing opinions on the Turco-Persian Frontier along the Shat-el-Arab [Shatt al Arab] and Mohammerah [Khorramshahr], produced by Alwyn Parker in 1912.
The red line indicated the mediating commissioners of 1850's proposed boundary; the green line denotes the Turkish claim (which at the time did not include Mohammerah town or El Hiszah island; and the blue line denotes the Persian claim (which was drawn incorrectly and should have been placed mid-channel whilst following the Shatt al Arab).
