The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom to the Prime Minister of New Zealand

Your telegram of 26 September (No. 296). The following message has been received from Admiral Cunningham:

Please assure Mr. Fraser that every care will be taken of our old friends the New Zealand troops on their passage through the Mediterranean. We know their value too well to leave any precaution untaken which will assure their safe arrival where they can bring their weight against the enemy. The matter is receiving my personal attention.
