The Prime Minister of New Zealand to the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs
His Majesty's Government in New Zealand propose to send both the extra platoon and the battery personnel to Fanning Island on 24 March. The latter party of one officer and twenty-nine other ranks would be employed in preparing the site ready for the mounting of the gun when it arrives. His Majesty's Government in New Zealand much regret that it is not possible to supply range-finding equipment from New Zealand and would much appreciate it if the necessary gear could accompany the gun.
