...Brigadier General Sir Godfrey Rhodes, as director of transportation through Iran. Within a few days complete plans had been drawn up. It was decided to improve two Persian Gulf ports, Iran's Bandar Shahpur and Iraq's Basra (see map). Road and rail links with Teheran and Tabriz would be improved or completed as soon as possible.
