- Title:
- File 618/1916 'Persia: Swedish gendarmerie affairs'
- Scope & Content:
-
This file contains papers relating to the presence and operations of Swedish officers for the purposes of training the Persian Gendarmerie during the First World War. The majority of the papers is comprised of correspondence between the Foreign Office in London, the Government of India, and various British authorities and military intelligence officers operating in Persia during 1914-1918.
The papers specifically discuss British unease about the presence of Swedish officers and military personnel due to the possibility of them having pro-German sympathies. The British authorities' exploration of ways to eject the Swedish officers occurs in the context of Anglo-Russian occupation of Persia and diplomatic tensions surrounding their mutual interests in the country.
