Huseyn Khan Farsimadan-Qashqai (Lieut. G. F. Magee, [1945] 1948)

Hossein Khan



Born 1920. Received a little education in Kazerun. From 1937 to 1939 did military service in cavalry of the Shiraz division. Rose to rank of 2nd Sergeant. Of soldierly appearance but possesses the more distasteful characteristics of a Persian Army N.C.O. Arrogant, mean, a bully and a robber. Apparently does not trouble to keep control of his followers. Tall, dark and well built. More personable than Zarir Khan with whom he is joint kalantar.
