The Admiralty to the Australian Commonwealth Naval Board
10 August 1940
Repeated to the New Zealand Naval Board.
The proposals in your telegrams of 5 August (Nos. 225 and 226) are concurred in by the Admiralty in so far as the organisation of the escorts is concerned. It is hoped that they are also acceptable to the New Zealand Naval Board.
The precise date of sailing may, however, require adjustment with regard to the availability of shipping and escorts for the onward passage to Egypt, in relation to other large troop movements which have already commenced from the United Kingdom to the same destination. This aspect of the question is under urgent examination and a further signal will be sent you.1
