savings from the Qarasuran budget.
The disbandment of the South Persia Rifles was completed on the 31st
October, and the Prime Minister has wired to the Governor-General to do
his best to maintain order in the province and keep the roads safe.
On the 15th November the Governor-General wrote a somewhat curt letter
to His Majesty’s Consul asking him to prevent the South Persia Rifles from
selling by auction rifles, copper cooking pots, etc., which he said were the
property of the Persian Government and had been formerly in the possession
of the Swedish Gendarmerie. He added that he had warned the auctioneer
and public that such articles would be confiscated if bought. Under his orders
the Police had already confiscated from the purchasers certain property of the
above description.
The Officer Commanding, South Persia Rifles, informed His Majesty’s
Consul that as far as he knew this assertion was grossly untrue. His Majesty’s
Consul therefore replied to the Governor-General that he could not interfere
in the matter unless he produced some proof in support of his statement.
This hasty and ill-considered action of the Governor-General brought some
discredit on the South Persia Rifles.
The discipline of the South Persia Rifles remained good right up to the
time of final disbandment.
