If it were possible to let me have twenty selected Persians from the lOGflt
Hazara Pioneer Regiment, who could reach me on camels by forced marches,
I could make great use of their services both for purposes of defence as well as
for secret service. On the grounds that they were an addition to my escort,
Persian Government might be asked to admit them with their arms.
