II GENERAL
The purpose of this tour was to afford medical relief to the
Kughalu tribes not scattered too far in the.Sardasir in search of
summer pastures. Sub-tribes engaged in active feuds or raids were
deliberately avoided as instructed. Behbehan was made the advanced
headquarters from where excursions into the Bavi, Boir Ahradi Garmasir,
Bahmai, Taibi and Agha Jari territories were made. Basht was the only
tribal area reached by M.T., while the remaining tours were on horse
back, some hundred and eighty odd miles being thus covered.
As many of the areas visited are unsurveyed, and have not
been toured by Europeans for some decades at least, a detailed
description of routes, areas visited etc., will be given.

The M.T. journey to Behbehan was uneventful, but Behbehan was
still echoing with the visit of the Soviet Consular Staff. We were
very warmly received at Mr. Moosavi’s house where Mr. Hakim-i-Ilahi,
a British graduate, was also staying whilst on a Ccanvasing tour for
the l, Hizb-i-Iradah-i-Milli M . Ilahi who is well informed on the
current political trends in Persia, expressed very reasonable though
unorthodox views about the situation, and was quite obviously concerned

About this item
- Content
Correspondence relating to the despatch of mobile dispensaries to various parts of southern Persia [Iran] during the Anglo-Soviet occupation of Persia in the Second World War. The correspondence follows a report written by the 12 Indian Division Mobile Dispensary of a tour of parts of southern Persia (ff 68-71). Aside from descriptions of the conditions and tribes encountered, the report notes the potential public relations and propaganda value of sending British dispensaries into tribal regions of Persia. The subsequent correspondence discusses: the deployment of medical dispensaries to gather intelligence on the tribes of southern Persia; arrangements for further mobile dispensaries to be deployed in southern Persia; diseases and health conditions encountered in Persia; a report of a tour in Fars by Captain H Garrod of the 12 Indian Division Mobile Dispensary, containing descriptions of the conditions found, medical requirements, and with additional notes on the tribes encountered (ff 47-56); a report entitled ‘Horseback tour of the Kuhgalu [Kohgīlūyeh] tribes, through the Bavi, Boir-Ahmadi [Bowyer Aḩmad], Bahmai [Bahma’ī], Taibi and Agha Jari territories in the Zogros ranges and foothills’, prepared by Captain A H Parvis of the Royal Army Medical Corps (ff 8-29). A sketch map of the route taken taken by Parvis accompanies the report (f 29).
The file’s principal correspondents are: the External Affairs Department of the Government of India; the British Ambassador at Tehran; the Foreign Office.
