HEADQUARTERS 13 CORPS
SPECIAL ORDER OF THE DAY BY COMMANDER 13 CORPS

New Zealand Divisional Signals

On the departure of the New Zealand Signals the Western Desert Force is losing one of its original and most trusted components. It is with the greatest regret that I bid them farewell, and I know that their loss will be keenly felt by the many friends they have made. Their work has been outstanding throughout and I know that the Force could not have carried out its tasks without their help. I take this opportunity, therefore, of thanking them for their most excellent work, so freely given, and wish them the best of luck in the future.
