"Raiders of the Sarhad" by R. E. H. Dyer is a military account written in the early 20th century. This narrative details Dyer's experiences commanding a campaign against nomadic tribes known as Raiders along the Persian-Baluchi border during World War I. The tale not only addresses military strategy but also highlights the regional dynamics influenced by propaganda and tribal politics. Central to the account is Dyer himself as he navigates the complexities of warfare in an unfamiliar landscape while attempting to maintain peace with local tribes. The opening of the narrative introduces the circumstances that prompt Dyer's military mission, including the presence of German agents stirring unrest among the tribes in the Sarhad region. Dyer describes receiving his orders from General Kirkpatrick and the logistical challenges of assembling resources for the campaign, including an ill-fated journey to reach Robat. He encounters difficulties along the way with a mix of humor and frustration, such as the predicament of a resource-hungry chauffeur and their struggle with unreliable vehicles. By establishing Dyer's background, his sense of urgency, and the immediate context of the campaign, the beginning sets the stage for the unfolding military operations against the tribes, foreshadowing the blend of bluff and strategy that will characterize his endeavors.
