Operations
against UamSuIg,
August, 1916.
(3) During tbe spring of 1911 there were large numbers
of Afghans in Persian Makran engaged in the anus
traffic. The running of contraband cargo from Masqat
was being carried on on a large scale, the profits of the
sale to all concerned being very considerable. To check
this recrudescence of activity a force consisting of 1 bat- '
talion of Indian infantry, 2 sections of mountain guns, tvnd
2 sections of Sappers and Miners was mobilised under
Colonel Delamain, D.S.O., on March 29th.
The Royal Indian Marine Ships Northbrook and
Hardinge sailed from Bombay on April 7th. On April
10th the whole force together with a party of Marines
from His Majesty’s Ship Highflyer disembarked at
Galag on the Makran coast and was joined by the princi-
pa* local Baluch Chiefs. The force advanced up the
Rapch river to Barka Band. On April 16th Colonel
Delamain with 90 men mounted on mules pushed on to Bint.
The Afghans retreated northwards. The whole force re
embarked on April 21st and on April 25th disembarked
at Sink on the Biaban coast to capture some arms which
had just been landed there for Barkat Khan, a local
Baluch, who was assisting the Afghan arms traders. On
April 28th the force attacked the Pushak defile which was
held by about 160 followers of Barkat Khan. After a
sharp encounter the enemy was driven off. Forty rifles
and 4,000 rounds of ammunition were recovered out df
the consignment landed at Sirik. The force was re-
embarked on May 8th and returned to India. The moral
effect of these operations was great. The Afghans were
discouraged, and the local Baluch Chiefs understood the
inadvisability of participating openly in the illicit arms-
traffic.
(4) As a result of the raiding activities of the Damanls
in the direction of the British lines of communication in
East Persia, in 1916, it was decided to undertake operations
against them.
On August 2nd General R. E. H. Dyer marched from
