It reveals the tasks assigned to the group, which, after the name of the commander, became known as "Dunsterforce", as well as data on the numerical and national composition of the soldiers and the equipment at their disposal. It tells about a difficult journey, about 400 miles long, from Persia to the Caucasus through the difficult mountainous regions through the Asabad pass. Gives a description of the temporary alliance with a detachment of Cossacks under the leadership of L.
