Date:
1917/1918
Description:
Abstract: This file contains material relating to a review of politico-military conditions in Persia [Iran], following the revelation of Turkish plans to invade Persia in order to reach Afghanistan, which would in turn have threatened the British Empire in India.Physical description: Foliation: this file consists of three physical files. The foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover of file one (ff 1-174), through file two (ff 175-296), and terminates at the inside back cover of file three (ff 297-444); these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. Two additional foliation sequences are also present in parallel between ff 9-72, and ff 174-443; these are also circled, and have been superseded and therefore crossed out.
