81 — General Freyberg to the Minister of Defence

81
General Freyberg to the Minister of Defence

14 June 1940

My message of 13 June ( No. 80) crossed the Prime Minister's message of the same date [14 June]. 1 An urgent reply to my question is required as planes to the United Kingdom are scarce and one leaves with a seat for self and Colonel Stewart on Sunday, via Sahara.

1 See Second Echelon (No. 175). The difference in time between New Zealand and the Middle East is responsible for the above error in the date of the message being acknowledged.
