Lutf Ali Aqa, Sarhang
Born
about 1874. Belongs to village in Kamareh and Mamaqan near Tehran and of ‘Turk’
origin. In Cossack brigade for 30 years where he became ‘Sartip’ (Brig.
General). On disbandment of South Persia Rifles was sent to take chief command
in Fars and the Ports and form a new force. Conducted an unsuccessful campaign
in Mamasanni against Imam Quli Khan Rustam in the spring of 1922. Nearly
illiterate and rather uncouth, he made a terrible mess of his accounts, and was
recalled to Tehran in disgrace in the summer of 1922. Being still unable to
account for 30,000―40,000 Tumans he has been kept unpaid and employed by the
Minister of War.
