BUSHIRE (imder British Occupation) The provisional postage stamps Issued In Bushire, the metropolis of the Persian Gulf during the British Occupa- tion, albeit the outcome of one of the minor operations of the Great War, are numbered amongst the rarest, as well as the most interesting, from a philatelic standpoint of the many allied " Occupation " issues. It was in consequence o...f local disturbances arising out of Austro-German Intrigues In Persia, that it was deemed expedient by H. M. Government to enter into temporary military occupation of the port of Bushire on the Persian Gulf, In order to safeguard the life and property of the European and Indian trading community there. For many years an agency of the Bombay post office had been in operation at Bushire, where resided the British Political Resident for the Gulf. At the closing of the Autumn (191 5) session of the Legislative Council of India, at Simla, the Viceroy, Lord Hardinge, announced that: "Our troops are now occupying" Bushire (Persian Gulf), and with the consent of Persia will remain there until steps are taken by the latter to restore internal peace and order.
