General Freyberg to the acting Prime Minister

I am pleased that approval has been given to the formation of the Army Tank Brigade. Are Signals, Army Service Corps, Medical, and Ordnance units for the Brigade included in the figures of the men called up, as we make the total required 3532, including officers?

Seven officers and 66 other ranks sail for New Zealand today as instructors for the Armoured Fighting Vehicle School.
