326
Letter from General Freyberg to General Smith

18 October 1940

The patrol will be done once more and Stewart, my Gl, is seeing Bagnold about changing over key men.

After that Shearer2 and Bagnold will have to arrange for themselves. Later, when our Base is started, we may be able to help, but only on a trip-to-trip basis as my Government will not sanction any longer detachments.

No answer of course.

Yours, &c.,

2 Brigadier E. J. Shearer, CB, CBE, MC, Director of Military Intelligence, Middle East Force, 1940–42.
