and placed the resources of his State at His Majesty's disposal. The
heir-apparent, Lieutenant Nawabzada Taley Mahommad Khan, whose

between Great Britain and Turkey was notified. Their Highnesses
the Nawabs of Palanpur and Radhanpur, both being Mahomedans.

latter by holding mass meetings explaining the causes which led to
the war with Turkey, which was not a religious one.
