RECO RFG 31 MAY 3
From Viceroy, 12th April 1913.
Your telegram dated 20th March to Army Department.
Ismail Khan. We consider that rules would not have
permitted us without your special sanction to condone
interruption had he joined Indian instead of Hong Kong
police, but in such event, so far as we can judge, we think
circumstances might have warranted application for special
sanction.
Interruption was long and voluntary, but
apparently Ismail Khan believed that promises made to him
in Hong Kong made position secure and removed necessity for
immediate enlistment in police.
