The Governor-General of New Zealand to the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs
Your telegram of 13 June (No. 173). It has been arranged by His Majesty's Government in New Zealand that Brigadier Miles should command all New Zealand troops in the United Kingdom. They are arranging for delegation to him of such of the powers referred to in the memorandum enclosed in my despatch No. 6 of 5 June as may be necessary. General Freyberg will be available for discussion of any necessary details as it is expected he will be proceeding to the United Kingdom very shortly.
