No.522
Vour Excellency
I have the honour to Inform vour Excellency that on the 1st
September at a* roxlmately 11*50 hours a patrol of three Indian
soldiers, patrolling the Railway line between Bicheh and Oharoon
was ambushed by a party of 15 to 20 tribesmen and that two of the
soldiers were killed and their rifles and a i unition carried off.
The attack occurred between the second and third tunnels North of
Bicheh,
^^ previous at ack on a patrol on the railway near Eafid T )asht
was reported to His Excellency the Under-Secretary of Btnte for
War in the British Military Attache’s Note " T r.l7f/42 of the 11th
August, The locality In which tliese attacks occurred is within
70 kilometres of Khorramabad, where there is understood to be a
considerable garrison of Iranian troops. It id also not far distant
from the area in which Hr.Harris and Or,Griffiths we -e mrdered.
The Imperial Government are well aware that the British Military
Authorities are patrolling the railway only because the Iranian
Authorities have not completed the formation of the Railway Gend
armerie Re-iment required for the purpose. Arart, however, f'rom
the question of the protection of tie railway itself, it is evident
that throughout the area in question respect for the Imperial Gov
ernment has disappeared and that a situation exists which calls for
energetic measures for the jentoration of security and of the author
ity of the Central Government.
•3. I shall be obliged if Your Excellency will let me know, for
the information of my Government, wh^t steps are being taken to
effect the early arrest and punishment of those ren-nonsible for the
two attacks on Indian troops, and the recovery of the rifles and
ammunition.
I avail myself etc.etc.
Monsieur le Ministre.
