Uloth's mission was to prevent German and Turkish agents from crossing the Persian frontier into Afghanistan, and ultimately India. His travels (primarily on camel, horse and donkeys) took him across deserts and uninhabitable regions of relatively unoccupied territory, many times relying on local tribes for shelter and food. For a more macro view of Uloth's mission, refer to Gen Dyer's Raiders of the Sarhad, of which Uloth played a role in. However this will give you the feel of what it was like for a young officer in charge of a particular patch of territory, with little support, utilizing whatever was at his disposal. Good anecdotal references to the Persian notables in East Persia, and their relationships with the likes of Uloth, the Russians and other foreigners.
A unique book certainly for anyone interested in the other fronts of World War I. ( )
