Correspondence regarding a request to supply the Persian [Iranian] Army with grenades, mortars, pistols, and ammunition, conducted between the Government of India External Affairs Department, the Secretary of State for India, the Director of Army Requirements at the War Office, and the India Office External Department and War Staff.

This is placed at the end of the correspondence (folio 2).
