Enclosure No. 20,
Copy of a telegram from Consul, Sistan, to the Officer Commanding, Robat, dated the 10th
April 1916 (copy Major Heron, Dehaneh Baghi).
Heron’s 194,195 and 196. It is quite certain that Jehind knows before
this that a strong British force has gone to attack him. He cannot help
Juma Jehil.
It is almost equally unlikely that Germans will cover the eight days’
march eastwards with their levies deserting them, and with the whole Narui
tribe, except Alishah’s section which is now terrified and probably ready to
betray them, against them. The Ismailzais who can go to assistance of Juma
are probably few and badly armed.
I suggest your moving troops out of Bobat and helping Bennett with
them, as I think Lashkar will try to return by Nakhilu route. I have ordered
Masi Khan* to raise all the riflemen he
can in Neh. He says he can get between
» Of Neh.
100 and 200.
They will march towards Haiderabad. Is it possible for our infantry at
Neh to accompany them ? I hope cavalry from Birjand will follow them.
There are also 40 Persian Jambazes and 40 Persian infantry approaching Neh
from Birjand who will co-operate. Thorburn has gone out this evening with
30 rifles to supervise work of Infantry at Baring. We may be able to send
these forward to Madeh Kariz if it becomes established to-morrow that Afghan
caravan is no longer west of Baring-Bandan road.
I would like to see your Girdi cavalry also move to Sipeh, where they
can live on Alishah Khan’s crops, but until our infantry can prevent
Sarhaddis emerging eastwards vid Madeh Karez and Safidawa there is the
possibility that these raiders may take refuge in Afghanistan.
I hope Heron clearly understands now that we must rescue flocks of
Khudadad Khan and other Sistanis or lose prestige throughout country.
I am doing all I can to encourage Shebak and Murrai tribes to resist Lashkar
also.
Enclosure No. 21.
Copy of a telegram from Officer Commanding, Robat, to Consul, Sistan, No. 226 X., dated
the 10th April 1916 (copies to Commanding, Nasratabad, and Captain James, Girdi).
If supplies can be arranged,! please send one troop cavalry from
Nasratabad to Lutak. This troop will

will act in conjunction with troops at Girdi.
Enclosure No. 22.
Copy of a telegram from Consul, Sistan, to the Officer Commanding, Robat, dated the 10th
April 1916 (copy to Officer Commanding, Girdi).
Ho you not think that 50 Jambazes from Girdi under Khan Muhammad
Khan Narui should be diverted to Dehaneh Baghi from road to Ladis ?
They will fight keenly to punish raiders of Khudadad’s flocks.
Enclosure No. 23.
Copy of a telegram from Officer Commanding, Robat, Consul, Sistan, No. 231 X., dated the
10th April 1916.
Decision as regards 50 Jambazes from Girdi being diverted to Dehaneh
Baghi rests with you; I believe, under circumstances General Oflicer Com
manding would agree.
