V^a.^ner, V . Paschen, myself, Jacob started alon^
Persian frontier in order to meet Scliunemann and
place ourselves under his orders*
Arrived Bakuba.
Kizil Pobat.
2 meosen^ere from Fohsi Bey. V/e are to go back to
Baghdad. Refusal: lon r ' palaver. Finally it was
agreed that we should send telegram to German
Consulate. About 3 o’clock the Turks agp.in:
orders to take away our arms. r fe could do nothing
but telegraph again to the Consulate.
Answer that our telegrams had been sent off, that
we in Kizil Robat should await decision from
Stamboul, if local authorities did not prevent us.
Return journey to Shahroban.
Paschen is going to ride on in advance to Baghdad
and we are going to follow slowly.
Bakuba at 2 o'clock.
Telegram "remain at Bakuba until arrival of
Paschen - Niedermayer". HurrahJ
In the morning a Kurdish tribe arrived. The whole
afternoon Kurds with us; had to lock doors. Said
they were going to Basra,
Paschen told us the Turks in Baghdad are making
tremendous fuss and bother: had confiscated ail
arms in Baghdad also one of our 2 machine ^uns we
had already foregone. They will not let us into
South Persia, ostensibly because the tribes there
aro not yet ready.
For the moment all reproaches must be warded off
the Expedition, so I reluctantly decided to go
back (to Baghdad) with Vagner.
Fveached Baghdad. Great piece of news; the
Expedition disbanded; some of us are to go to
Basra, some into barracks to drill recruits.
Depressed.
Hiedermayer telegram to say that individual
gentlemen could go to Persia. I am to go either
with Zugmayer Via Khanikin to Ispahan, or with
P.Paschen to Teheran via Mosul. The choice pained
me.
It is now decided that I go with Zugmayer in about
5 to 8 days.
Tried cartridges for the new mucket, as the pigs
here (sic) do not mark them with any sporting
number. Zugmayer and Seiler at the Vail's;
said he would not be able to give us our passports
till Sunday.
About this item
- Content
The volume contains correspondence regarding the movements and activities of the Central Powers in Persia [Iran] and Afghanistan between December 1916 and May 1920. The correspondence is particularly concerned with German agents captured in Persia and imprisoned in India, and with the retrieval of German papers left behind in Herat, Afghanistan.
The volume includes extracts from the diary of Walter Griesinger detailing the German mission to Afghanistan led by Oskar von Niedermayer in 1914-16. The primary correspondents are: Government of the German Empire; War Office; Directorate of Military Intelligence; British Consulate General, Meshed; Government of India.
The volume contains three items in German: a list of German military personnel active in Persia in February 1916 written by the German Military Attache, Tehran (ff 55-56); and two letters from the German Government relating to Niedermayer’s mission (ff 107 and 123-124).
