Bushire
Bushire was the E.I.C.’s
Persian Gulf head quarters from 1778-1857 and, thereafter until 1946,
the seat of the British Resident for the Persian Gulf, a proconsular
figure appointed by the Government of British India.
There are three cemeteries in and close to Bushire where British were buried .
The Armenian Church of St. George:
A British visitor in 1966
reported seeing a number of British graves dating from 1856 in the
church’s graveyard and three wall tablets within the church
commemorating British officers who lost their lives in the 1856-57
Anglo-Persian war; however, Sir Anthony Parsons, who visited the
church ten years later, listed only the following headstones and
memorials: 16

Reshire (Rayshahr) Cemetery:
This British cemetery on the
west side of the Bushire peninsula was abandoned after the removal in
1963 to Tehran of the remains of those killed in World Wars I and II. A
visitor in 1966 found some thirty to forty graves, many unidentifiable,
dating from 1815. Another visitor in 1976 noted the remains of a
mutilated large marble plaque listing names and regiments of soldiers
killed in World War I.
Most of the fatal casualties
(less than 50?) suffered by Anglo-Indian forces during the six-months
Anglo Persian war of 185&-7 were buried in this cemetery; among
them, those killed at the storming of Reshire fort on 9 December 1856 (Brigadier Stopford, 64th Regt.; Col. Malet, Bombay Cavalry; Lts. Warren and Otterson, 20th Bombay Native Infantry); also Lt. Frankland of the 2nd European Light Infantry and eighteen others killed at the battle of Khosh-ab on 8 February 1857. General Stalker and Commodore Ethersey,
the army and naval commanders, who mys teriously committed suicide
within days of each other in March 1857, were also buried here. 18
