Documents Relating to New Zealand's Participation in the Second World War 1939–45: Volume III

431 — Letter from the Prime Minister to Major-General Barrowclough

431
Letter from the Prime Minister to Major-General Barrowclough

30 August 1944

Dear General Barrowclough

,

I have to acknowledge and thank you for your letter of 23 August, in which you inform me that you have now returned to New Zealand and that you have opened your Headquarters in the Auckland District.

I note also the arrangements for the completion of the transfer of your force back to this country.

I regret that it has not been possible for any final decision to be taken regarding the use of the two Divisions. Even in the short period since I saw you there have been developments which have necessitated a complete reorientation of views.

I must, therefore, have further discussions with my colleagues within the next two or three days before I can give you any indication as to page 454 the interim policy which should be laid down in respect of your own force.

I will advise you as to the earliest date upon which you should come to Wellington.

Yours sincerely

,

(Sgd) P. Fraser
