Major-General Barrowclough to Lieutenant-General Puttick
I have just been informed that the 3rd New Zealand Division has been designated as Area Reserve for the Kavieng operation. There is an indication, still somewhat vague, that the 8th Brigade may be required as part of the landing force at Kavieng.
Target date for Kavieng remains 1 April.
