mth reference to my telegram No. 165 of tlie 22nd insin
nt and to previous reports on the subject ,
c
honour to transmit to you herwith copies of
A
I have the
despatches from Mp vC^ffisul i acdouall reporting the cir—
cumstsnces 'crdnnected with his withdrawal from Kirmansihh
together with a copy of Sir Walter Townley 1 s telegram,
to Kinranshah No.25 the 8th instant . At the same
time I enclose copy <jj£ a letter on the subject which
has been communicated to me from another source and
which gives a more detailed account of the situation
immediately prior to the departure of the Allied
colonies •
You will observe from Sir Walter Townley’s
telegram above referred to , that Mr Lacdouall was auth
orised at ,onco to withdraw to Hamadan if he considered
the situation critical and if he was unable to secure
a guarantee from the Governor General for his safety ,
very
tort although the situation was undoubtedly serious ,
it would seem to me that in the circumstances Mr hac-
douall would have been better advised to have sent awey
the British community and to have himself remained at
Rirmanshah , at any rate until the menace of Turkish
occupation became a more tangible one •
From all accounts it would appear that the
Turkish troops did not advance any further than Kerind ,
some forty or fifty miles by road from Kirmanshah ,an&
, though I have no doubt that tno town was full of the
reports , Lr hacdouall*s long experien e
