troops in Sistan should continue to be arranged in close co-operation with you as
heretofore. Such requirements as cannot be met locally will be supplied under
orders of General Officer Commanding, Quetta. Owing to difficulties of transport
from Quetta, however, you should draw on local resources as freely as it is safe to
do so.

Telegram No. B.M.-24, dated the 8th June 1916.
From—The General Officer Commanding, Sistan, Kacha,
To—The Chief of the General Staff, Simla.
Your 57316, dated 2nd June. General Grover told me that, in accordance
with new contracts operating from 1st
cna No. (8). June, supplies would be brought by con
tractors on their own transport to various supply depots. If this is carried out, the
arrangement will be very satisfactory, but last year it was found necessary to collect
supplies from district with Government camels, and this led to shortage of transport.
I hope this will not be necessary this year. I think in any case if motor road is
made and Quetta helps largely with motor lorries, all will be well; otherwise I am
still of opinion that many more camels will be required. Troops at Khwash are
now on reduced rations, and horses on half rations, but new contracts may remedy
this.
Addressed Chief of the General Staff, Simla, repeated General Officer Com
manding, Quetta, Consul Sistan, Agent to the Governor-General, Baluchistan and
Supply Officer, Nasirabad (Nasratabad ?).
