74
The Chief of the General Staff (Wellington) to General Freyberg (Cairo) [Extract]

2 March 1940

…. 1 The High Commissioner for New Zealand in the United Kingdom has communicated with you by air mail regarding the interchange of staff officers of the British Expeditionary Force and those of the Dominion forces; similarly in regard to brigade page 63 and unit commanders. The Government do not like this idea. On receipt of Jordan's air mail letter I would be glad to have your views by cable. The progress of the Second Echelon is very satisfactory.

1 Text omitted concerned the appointment of commanding officers for 5th and 6th Field Regiments, New Zealand Artillery.
