(3) the cocimandeering of matting €ind fowls
from the house of Motabir Nur ypha and Bango (see
par^a ^ of my memorandum 1369 of the 9th Larch)
occurred well within British territory at Homan Kaur
which is at point £ in the plan but that the
articles were paid for* These two persons concerned
are most anxious that no complaint should be made
on iheir behalf as they own land in Iran and do
not wish to be victimised, but the entry into
British territory i© proved*
(4) the interference with the cultivation of
fcotabir KaLrcaiJ^g land (vide para 6 of my memorandum
1369) which is a lew hundred yards within British
teirritcry at 3 in the plan, was equally unjustifiable<
(6) early in Larch there was yet another
and hi thereto unreported violation of the frontier
by an Iranian patrol which again visited Nur Lohd
and Bango at Homan Kaur (S* on plan) and vhich
whilst still within British territory, unjustifiably

communicated to you on the 26th March)*

are alive to the advisability of friction on the
frontier and that in all probatHity there will be
no recurrence of the violation* I submit that the
position a© now shown should be brought to the
notice of the Iranian authorities in a friendly
About this item
- Content
Correspondence, papers and maps relating to territorial infringements by British and Persian subjects (levies, troops, customs officials) across the border dividing Persia [Iran] and British Baluchistan (part of present-day Pakistan). Correspondence is chiefly exchanged between the British Legation in Tehran, the Foreign Office in London, and the External Affairs Department of the Government of India. The correspondence includes efforts to ascertain the facts and circumstances of reported incidents, and the ensuing diplomatic correspondence with the Persian Government’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Incidents covered include: in September 1930, the arrival in Dizzak [Dīzūk], Persian Baluchistan, of British levies in pursuit of camel thieves; in November 1935, the presence of British troops near Kuhak [Nūk Jow], Persia, the Persian Government’s dispatch of 400 troops to the region, the British Government’s insistence that the area occupied by its troops at Gorich Kalag [Gorich Categ] lay in British territory, and assertions that troops were dispatched in response to reports that a Persian occupation of the area was anticipated; in November 1937, the raid of a shop in Pilani Sunt (referred to locally as Kastag [Kastak]) by Iranian customs officials, regarded by British officials as an incursion into British territory.
