Thank you for carrying a review of my book Valiant Parsis in War and Peace ("Remembering Parsi valor,” Books, Parsiana, May 21, 2018).
In the fourth paragraph the reviewer has stated: "There was even a Parsi Battalion which organized their annual function at the Allbless Baug on June 5 1943!” This is incorrect. It conveys a wrong impression that the Parsi Battalion existed in 1943. The Parsi Battalion was disbanded in 1928. Please refer to Disbanding of Parsi Battalion on pg 223 of my book. On page 259 too I have given the correct position which reads, "5 June 1943: Members of the former Parsi Battalion today organized their annual function at the Allbless Baug.”
This book is not available in regular bookstores but is available from Parsiana book shop, Jam-e-Jamshed office and from the Rustom Framna Agiary sukhadwalla at Dadar, Bombay.
