- Description:
- Abstract: Six-monthly reports (referred to as appreciations) submitted by HM Consul at Zahidan [Zahedan] on the political situation in the province of Mekran (also spelt Mukran [Makran]), eastern Persia [Iran], and covering the period May 1944 to June 1947. Each report is organised under subheadings which vary from report to report but broadly cover: local administration; trade; smuggling; political affairs; security; communications; British interests; Russian (or Soviet) activities; army; and western reforms. The file also contains an appreciation on the political situation at Seistan [Sīstān] for the period July to December 1946, submitted by HM Vice-Consul at Zabul, which was presumably added to the file in error (ff 24-25).The file includes a divider, which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the front of the correspondence.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 34, these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
