Telegram from Viceroy to Secretary of State, dated
17th August 1915.
PI ease refer to our telegram dated 30th June 1915, No. S. 615. Bush ire
garrison has been raised recently to full Indian Infantry Regiment and
included in Force “ I),,” and another regiment has been despatched there
recently in addition. But for inclusion of force in Force “D” entire
charge(s) of additional garrison would have been apparently divisible in
moieties between Imperial Government and Government of India. See your
telegram dated 2 1 st November 1912 regarding troops in Persia. As however
garrison is now included in Force “D,” we presume that Indian revenues
will have to bear ordinary cost of entire garrison which would have fallen
on them but for war, namely ( 1 ) full ordinary cost under foreign service
conditions in Persia of original garrison of 56, rank and file ; (2) half of
total ordinary cost under foreign service conditions in Persia of 244 officers
and men specially added in 1911 to 1913; (3) ordinary cost under peace
conditions of rest of garrison.
